Construction? Rose just stood there, confused. How was she supposed to keep going! She had someone to meet! She had to meet the Great Worm! Her wormy egg needed to see him! She had hoped that being in the Worm Tree would help it feel comfortable enough to hatch. She held the egg in her hands, her beetle wings fluttering sadly. "Stupid birds! How am I supposed to get through now?"
"Just walk through." Said her Seedot, standing beside her as he stared past the contstruction zone.
"What?" Rose began, looking at the little seed Pokemon incredulously. "Isn't that illegal?"
"What? F___ no it isn't," Replied the seed, the swear censoring itself with a loud beep thanks to Rose's censor filters. "These birds are the one being illegal. You got a god d___ job to do, and I ain't fond of birds either."
"Uh, if you're sure!"
"Of course I am! The Seedot's shadow slowly grew as his aggressive aura became tangible with the move Astonish. An evil look in his eyes. The pair walked through the construction zone as Pidgeys watched stunned, unable to stop them. Any that dared draw too close was immediately glared at and shied away in fear. Prompt 32.

Rose watched in horror as her Orthworm and the wires tangled and writhed, slamming into the road repeatedly. Chunks of asphalt went flying, huge cracks spreading down the road like she always imagined an earthquake might look like. She was lucky that being inside the car protected her mostly from all the dust, even if it did spill in through the open windows. "Aww, it was all clean! And now its- gah!" She stared into the mirror, watching Torino charge for her jeep as more wires erupted from the ground. "No time! No time to clean! We gotta go!"
"Sprigatito! Full pedal!" Rose shouted as soon as Torino was in the car and the jeep rumbled forwards. But not nearly fast enough. Not enough to fully outrace the wires. Even her cat pressing the pedal straight to the floor, why wasn't it going faster? On pure instinct, she reached out to mess with the stick thing in the middle of the front seats, like she had seen her dad do all the time while driving, and suddenly the Jeep just leaped into speed as she pumped it up a gear, and then another.
"Aaaaaah!" Rose shouted at the top of her lungs, picking up in speed as she was driving faster than she had before. 30 miles per hour, and swiftly picking up to 40, 50, and even 60. She was quickly losing control of the steering, not prepared for such speed. Charging straight ahead towards the tangling mess of wires and worm.
"L-look out! Wormie! Move! Move!" She slammed her hand on the front of the steering wheel, an incredibly loud horn honking.
"Wha?" Her Orthworm had absolutely no time to think twice seeing the vehicle charging forwards. His mouth opening, he just slammed his face into the asphalt, digging just out of the way of the Jeep and using Harden to toughen his metallic body. The tangling mass of wires was right in the path of the oncoming vehicle. In almost no time at all, the Jeep slammed straight into the the beast. Rose was lucky that she, at the very last moment, had decided to buckle her seatbelt.

#s://i~imgur~com/9lIQGP4~png Rose didn't exactly know what was going on until she had walked through the portal the cute little Indeedee opened. It was that fancy castle, with the pretty queen again! And so much food! An absolutely endless stretch of tables!
By the time the Queen had started her speech, Rose already had fistfulls of blue goo, shoving the meat-tasting blue pudding into her face. It was so weird, it made her giggle over and over again. If only her mom could make food like this!
With her cute little kitty cat ears, and outfit in the Dream World absolutely covered in cats, like her own little Cat Princess, she'd eventually find herself wandering around looking at everyone else's art.
It was all so cool! She really liked the mural that Kazuki made, the paw prints were adorable on it still! But she especially thought the art by her friend Torino was especially beautiful. It was like a little optical illusion! She'd bounce back and forth, seeing the form of the sculpture flicker back and forth with a few giggles.
"... Oh, what do I make?" She mumbled to herself, eventually just plopping down in an open little section. She didn't really know, but she did like making art! She doodled in school all the time, but maybe she should make something a little bit more interesting. Something she learned how to do recently!
Standing back to her feet, the little girl ran with her arms outstretched, giggling and laughing all to herself. As if by luck, or perhaps the dream acknowledging her desires, a large pumpkin sat atop the table, paired with a fairly small knife. Carefully, she made her way back to her little corner, knowing better than to run with sharp objects!
Plopping down, she began to stab into the pumpkin. As if on cue, light would begin to pour from the open cut in the pumpkin, as if a flame had already been lit from within. There were no thoughts about how this wasn't a jack-o-lantern was really made, the child didn't really know any better.
Art was as magical as everything else about this world.
By the time she was done carving, a cute little seedot had been carved into the pumpkin, glowing with a warm flickering light. It didn't matter that some parts were somehow floating, and would have totally fallen out in a real pumpkin. She didn't even realize, and perhaps that was exactly the reason it worked.
The dreams of a child was such a powerful thing.

Rose immediately jumps in surprise seeing the egg quiver in her friends arms. That was so cool! She watched excitedly as Torino began to clear a space for their egg to hatch. That made sense! Plants needed water and soil and sunlight! she learned that in school!Why the plant was hatching from an egg, however, she still didn't really understand.
"Ooh, your first egg! Exciting!" Rose spoke, completely unaware if it was her first egg or not. It was just the first one she had seen Torino with, anyways. "Hmm, I wonder how Scyther hatches," she mused to herself, humming in thought. Her cute little beetle wings unfolded as she fluttered in place, hovering just barely off the ground a few feet away form Torino. "Normally, all my bug friends seem to come in big groups! Or can call on them! I don't think one egg holds a swarm of buggies! Do you?"
With the egg stuck to her hand, she'd hold her other hand up to brush through her hair in thought, gently twirling it.
"... Maybe they come, when they sense the egg hatched?" Moab spoke, awfully curious himself. The Type: Null was beyond curious staring at the two eggs with wide eyes, slowly turning its head and looking at the two.
"Maybe!" She grinned excitedly, cradling her egg close to her chest as well. "Maybe they just know! Like magic! Oooh, wizard bugs." A giggle escaped her lips at the thought, slowly floating back down to the ground where she'd gently scoop a small handful of dirt, and tuck it up against Torino's egg.
"Do you think, you need to water the plant egg? I don't got any water! But, ooh, ooh, maybe a Grass-Type Pokemon could share some! Grookey!" She'd immediately turn to Torino's Grookey with incredibly wide eyes, like she came up with the most perfect idea ever. "Share your energy with the egg! Actually-"
Rose would immediately pause, blinking. "Are you a plant? Or are you a monkey? Are you a monkey plant? You got leaves on your head..."

Was it over?
Rose watched in anxious hope as the wires all stop moving. Her Sprigatito rejoins her back at the vehicle as Rose eventually puts it back into the drive, figuring out that the numbers on the stick mean something at least. "Come on, let's at least turn it around," Rose would speak softly to her Sprigatito, who'd carefully rest on the floor of the jeep, fur singed as Rose turned it 180 degrees to look back towards the massive mess of wires.
"... I think it's dead? Wormie!" She'd called out, gently putting the vehicle in park. "Is it dead wormie friend?"
Her Orthworm slowly rose from the road, clearly more destroyed than when they started. He just paused, looking around for a few seconds before reaching out to poke one of the wires with one of his extending arms.
Nothing.
"You know? I think it's deader than-"
All of a sudden, some wires seemed to spur to life, snapping like a whip and crackling with energy, moving to wrap around the Orthworm. All while some others lay completely dead, unmoving.
"Wormie! Be careful!" Rose gasped out loud, shuddering at the sight from behind the wheel. "Wrap him back! Take him down!"
The Orthworm twisted about, slipping in and out of the wires, seemingly stuck in an endless battle for control, like dozens of long snakes and one thick, fat, chunky worm trying to strangle each other. "H-hah, you're slicker than owl grease!"

Sprigatito tangled with the electric wires, biting and gnawing as leaves shredded around them. However, as resistant to Electric moves as they were, they were still not a dedicated fighter. The cat huffed, barely escaping from the wild tangling grasp of the beast.
"Rose," They called out. "Keep going!"
"I'm trying!" The car slowed without anyone on the pedals, and she fumbled with the stick shift wildly for a few seconds, accidentally putting in neutral. No matter how hard she slammed on the gas dropping off the seat, it wouldn't go!
The sudden reveal of Torino's Houndour, however, had an idea quickly pop into her head. Right! They had other Pokémon! She didn't know how the Wire Beast felt pain, quite confused as her fellow trainer brought up the question, but even she knew Ground beat Electric every day.
Turning her head around, she crawled shamelessly into the back of the car before tossing another Pokeball. Her Orthworm suddenly formed, twisting about as its arms popped out of its metallic wormy shell. "The wires! Cut the wires!" Rose shouted.
"Well now," the Orthworm twisting about, its open jaw like a mocking smile as it saw the confrontation. "I reckon he's slicker than pig snot on a radiator."
"What?!"
"No time, sweetheart. Leave it to me." The worm's arms tucked back in, only to suddenly dive into the road itself, mouth agape, eating asphalt like stone as it charged forwards with a powerful Bulldoze!
Sprigatito leaped out of the way, breathing heavily and exhausted, fur singed, trying to take the opportunity to get back to Rose all while dodging flames and broken earth.

"I'm sure! It's an egg!" She'd hold it up proudly, eagerly allowing the NPC to determine the egg for them.
"Scyther... Huh." She hummed in thought. Letting go with one hand, it stuck to her other as she just reached up to rub her cheeks. Sharp egg? That seemed silly! It was a smooth egg! "That's a big bug if I remember!" Rose grinned excitedly, turning to show the egg off to Moab. The Type: Null just looked at it confused, as if he had no idea how something big could come from something so small.
"I have!" She immediately turned to Torino, grinning ear to ear. "I got Cheese last time! Fire can work! Just, uh- don't put them too close! We just gotta warm them! Love them! Not cook them! It's like a chicken egg!"
"What is a-" Moab began, only to have Rose immediately respond.
"It's like a turkey! But, smaller!"

Rose is thankful she at least has someone to try and defend her jeep from the outside, but seeing all these wires clamber all over the windows of her vehicle had her shuddering in fear. The electricity crackled, making shuddering, horrible noises. She didn't like the idea of being shocked by that. Hearing Torino's words, an idea suddenly clicked in her head. A memory unlocked, watching her parents drive wasn't entirely useless after all.
"Sprig! I got an idea!"
"Well you better be quick about it!"
She reached over, grabbing hold of the little stick thing and shifting it to to the number 2. All of a sudden, the car kicked into the next gear, speeding ahead. Spooked, she quickly spun the wheel wildly, twisting the whole vehicle around.
All the while, the little child screamed on for dear life.
At the sudden boost in speed and extremely tight turn, the wire's grip was loosened, slipping and suddenly sliding down off the car, left in its dust. The bundle of rubber wires tumbled and rolled all across the ground, before seemingly moving on their own. The insane bundle slowly clambered to its 'feet' made of exposed copper wires, and quickly began shambling forwards.
Rose glanced in the mirror, seeing the little text that said "Objects are closer than they appear" as the sentient electrician's nightmare chased her down and promptly continued to scream.
"Stop it! Stop it!" Rose steered wildly, trying her best to avoid recently made potholes by the wires being uprooted.
"Ahh, this isn't getting us anywhere! Leave it to me! I'll stop him!" Said her Sprigatito, suddenly leaped out the windows, leaving the pedals unattended as the Jeep just continued to roll forwards.
Standing firmly in the road, trying their best to block the massive beast as wisps of grass suddenly swirled around them. With a Magical Leaf and a powereful yowl, the little kitty pounced.

Rose immediately giggled as the monkey Pokemon apparently found a man inside the tree.
"Silly man! The bandana was on the ground!" She speaks up, pointing to the square cloth that Torino had found. She then promptly ignores him, in favor of the far more interesting questions.
"Ooh, Autumn is so fun! I love all the pretty leaves! And the turkey! And the candy! And- and-"
"What's a Turkey?" Moab suddenly spoke, tilting its head as it shoved over a massive log, using its helmet as a lever to rip it up.
"... Uh-" She blinked. Was there a Turkey Pokemon? She didn't think there was. "A uh, big, tasty bird! I think?"
"Good enough," said Moab, digging its feet into the mud. It suddenly paused, slowly stepping back. "Are rocks supposed to be colorful?"
"Huh?" Rose's head immediately whipped around, cute little beetle wings abuzzing as she floated over towards Moab. Only for this loud gasp to spill from her lips. She dived into the muddy earth, pulling out large eggs that rolled across the ground. She immediately clung to one of them, holding it close to her chest.
"Egg friend! I knew we'd find you! I wonder what is inside you? Last egg friend had Cheese inside." She mumbled to herself, before pointing the other Egg out to Torino and their Grookey.
"That's an egg! Not the man, silly!"

Trash? In her car? She hadn't yet begun to collect trash yet! She genuinely had no idea what Torino meant, and her confusion was quite obvious. Until of course, the obvious was spoken. Her car was being attacked!
"Hey! No! Bad beast!" Rose cried out loud, furious that something would dare attack her car! Her car! She worked hard for this! She punched C0D13_2 at least once! Electric wires tangled all around, and quite honestly she didn't know what was going on. But she couldn't just leave her car! She had just got it!
"Gas! Go go go! Gas gas gas!" She yelled down at her Sprigatito. Hearing the genuine fear in her voice, the cat slammed on the gas pedal. With Rose's hands still on the wheel, she spun in circles, hoping to knock the beast off. "Shoo! Shoo! Bad! Spreegatito, do something!"
The cat didn't have much time to step away from the pedals if they wanted to keep going. But luckily, they were faster than most. With a sudden Quick Attack, Sprigatito would slam its claws into one of the crazy black cables, with electricty crackling all around before dashing back to the pedal.
"I'm doing all I can! Why are you so short! You can't touch the pedals!"
"I'm a kid! I'm not supposed to be tall!"

Rose was having the time of her life! Granted, she didn't know how to shift the jeep out of first gear, and it had taken her forever to even get into drive, but she was grinning like mad as she kneeled on the driver's seat of the car.
"Yeah! Just like that! Put your weight on the peddle!" Rose cried out, glancing down at the Sprigatito who was just lazily resting on the gas.
"... I am."
"Then how do we go faster?" She hummed in thought, although maybe it wasn't the best idea to just rush for speed. These roads didn't seem exactly super safe. There were many holes in these roads! She was having fun turning the steering wheel and experimenting with it turning though. But speed was fun too!
It seemed she had a ton to learn about cars! Didn't they usually come with instruction books? She didn't read those anyways, but all these buttons seemed mighty tempting. Where even would that be in a car anyways? Under the seats? She debated crawling down to look around when she saw something in the distance.
Seeing a figure on the road calling out to her, apparently looking for her, Rose couldn't help but grin. She immediately reached a hand out of the car, waving wildly. "Hey! You! Lady with the monkey! That's me! I'm Rose!"
Rose giggled, and Sprigatito took that as a sign to climb off the gas. The vehicle slowed down immensely, although it did continue to just ever so slowly roll forwards, not exactly set to park.
"I knew I would find you! Come, hop in! I just started learning to drive!" She beamed so brightly, just as bright as the headlights would be. If she knew how to turn them on.
The car just continued to roll right past Torino, and Rose paused confused for a second before she realized. Right! Brakes! "Brake please!" She spoke down to her cat, who once again just lazily flopped against the brake, bringing the car to a stop.
"There we go!" Rose laughed again and suddenly just climbed over to the passenger side to open the door for them, before climbing back into her driver's seat. "Come on! We got places to go, things to find!"

"Ya did good, girlie! Now come, get me out of this harness!"
Rose smiled widely, just about to jump down, her wings fluttering so she didn't fall as fast. Her arms already stretched out to grab onto the nearest gear and cling to it like a bug and carefully climb her way down towards them when something caught her attention.
A cracking sound.
The clockwork room was a machine. A very powerful machine. And when it couldn't work properly, energy began to build, and build, and build, until something snapped.
She yelped loudly, seeing a gear in the distance suddenly crack, only to quickly shatter and fall apart. The whole gear chain went wild, spinning in random directions, everything slowly beginning to shift about, but this time far broken. Shattered pieces of advanced clockwork began to fall into more pieces of gears, a chain reaction swiftly going to tear the whole place apart.
"Ahh, no time!" Rose just leaped right off the catwalk, her beetle wings fluttering furiously behind her as she aimed right for the Seedot. "Don't move!"
"I can't move even if I wanted to-" The gear chain they were on suddenly shifted, a tooth broke off the gear, and everything started to move again.
"Oh no you don't!" Rose's wings slowed down, suddenly falling faster. Arms outstretched, her fingers just barely grazed against the edge of the Seedot's foot. Sticking immediately, Rose swung back and forth, all before the harness itself began to snap, never designed for the weight of a child.
"I g-got you! You're coming home with me! Because you're my friend now!"
The harness snapped, and the two of them suddenly went tumbling down into the clockwork as gears, springs, and cogs alike ripped themselves apart up above. Her wings fluttered furiously again, and she cradled the Seedot close to her chest as the two of them just slowly descended into darkness.
"... Friend. Yeah, yeah I could use a friend." The Seedot replied shutting its eyes in happiness.
"Good. I'm gonna make sure you get all the snacks! Even though you don't have a mouth!"

Rose was hurt at first, only for it to dawn on her as well. That grinding sound was terrible, and it hurt her ears, but it meant she was doing something! She suddenly laughed as well, quickly standing up and drying her tears.
"Right! I'm really g-good at breaking things! Lemme just-" She reached up with her sticky Catcher hands, grabbing another lever and pulling hard, pressing her feet against the console and tugging with all her might, breaking another lever and suddenly tossing it out into the world where it eventually got caught between some other gears, visibly stalling at least a few gears.
"That's the spirit, girlie! Rip it up! Tell that ____ng stupid puzzle what's up!"
Rose laughed, downright giggling. This might not be the solution intended, but it was her solution! Just like that stupid Rubix Cube! Who needed to know how to twist it and turn it, when she could peel off the stickers and move them? Or rip off the squares and put them back!
Sometimes, destruction was the answer.
Although in truth, the more accurate answer was simply believing in herself and her talents. Sometimes you didn't need to be the smartest, or the strongest, or even the coolest. You just had to be the most creative. And she could do creative.
She worked to rip lever after lever off the console. Some of them were too solid, so she'd abandon those ones and move onto the more rusty levers. She'd eventually break, bend, or twist off most of them, and at her feet sat a huge pile of broken rods.
"I'm gonna get you out of here!" Rose yelled, picking up a lever and once again tossing it into the gears. "And then, we're gonna have cereal at Not-Mom's House!" She'd toss levers in every direction, up, down, and all around her. Some of them never caught between any gears, just laying atop of them, or getting shoved around easily enough. But some of them definitely caught, stalling some gear chains up completely, no matter how hard they struggled to move. Eventually, a huge majority of the gears in the room were stuck.
"A-and then, we're gonna go beat up that mean lady!"
Sure enough, with most of the room frozen, the Seedot was plain to see, hanging far below her.

No matter how hard she tried to press the lever back on, it was broken for good. Completely ruined.
Rose slumped to the ground, trying not to cry. She promised she'd take this new friend home! She had to! But she wasn't smart enough to solve this puzzle! She was going to be here all day, but then bedtime would come and she'd get nowhere! Not to mention, she already broke it.
And as hard as she tried, she started crying anyways.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's this about?" The Seedot spoke, this time its body visible for a few seconds, seeing the sad girl just hugging herself. "What's all the water works for?" As angry as they were, they couldn't take it out on the obviously sad child. The one actually trying to help them.
"I can't do it!" Rose proclaimed, dropping the lever onto the catwalk, rolling away from her as she sniffed. "I'm not good at puzzles! I'm not smart! My grades aren't even good! I'm trying, and I'm trying, and I wanna do good! But- But, these levers mean nothing! I'm not good at anything! I broke it already!"
More tears dripped down her cheeks. She might have broken so easily, but the poor girl clearly had been dealing with these fears for a while herself. "I c-cant even rescue you! I p-promised the robed man I'd take you to say hello! A-and give you cereal and juiceboxes! I- I-"
"Hey, hey, hey, it's okay." The Seedot's tone flipped drastically. It was her turn for an emotional outburst, it seemed. He couldn't blame a child for being overwhelmed. "It's gonna be okay. You came here, you did your best. That's... okay. It's okay." It certainly didn't sound okay, but the Seedot was trying to reassure her as best he could.
He'd rather suffer longer, than let someone else hurt because of him. Neither of them deserved this. Even if he didn't get to go home with her, he'd be okay with that.
The broken lever seemed to roll further, suddenly dropping off the catwalk and falling to the depths below. A sudden grinding sound caught both of their attentions and then suddenly the laughter of an acorn echoed around the whole massive chamber.
"Y'see, you're good at one thing alright! You're good at breaking ___!"
