Hesitantly, Rose reached up, and gently turned pushed a lever upwards. Suddenly the whole world seemed to shift. Some gear somewhere began to turn in the opposite direction, and it set off this massive chain of effect.
But Rose had no idea what to do with this information. She tried flipping it back and forth, seeing what gears actually changed, but there were at least 15 that seemed to shift! And considering the whole place was still moving, she lost track constantly!
"Man, this sucks." She mumbled to herself, frowning.
"What's the problem?" The voice echoed from behind her from a few moments, but this time Rose didn't bother to try to turn around, knowing her new Seedot friend would be moved elsewhere when she did.
"There's so many levers! I don't know what they do! I flipped one, and stuff changed, but I can't tell! I'm not good at puzzles! I always let Keightlyn play with the rubix cubes during playtime!"
The Seedot was quiet for a few seconds, before its voice seemingly echoed from above. "____ it. Flip them all."
With a quiet laugh, Rose quickly began to move. Flipping levers up and down at random, moving from console the console. The whole world shifted and changed rapidly, everything either moving in rapidly different directions, stopping entirely, or just moving at different speeds. She had to admit, it was at least a little fun.
That is, until she yanked a bit too hard on a lever, and the rusty metal rod just snapped leaving her with a metal stick in her hands.
"Oops."

"Uh, how do I get you down?"
"___ if I know," The Seedot spoke, and Rose had the odd feeling that it would be shrugging if it had arms.
"Okay, umm, I'll look around!" Rose scrambled about, careful not to move too far to the edge of the gear and risk falling. Eventually, she managed to find what appeared to be a small metal platform with what looked like to be levers! Perfect! She just needed to make a quick jump to it and she'd be good to go.
Problem was, the gear she stood on might move when she tried to jump, causing some problems. She hummed in thought for a few seconds before the idea suddenly clicked. She had wings! Cute little beetle wings covered by a hard shell! It was so easy to forget she had them!
She twisted about, turning her head back to look as her wings fluttered out from her back, lifting her off the ground just barely, hovering a few inches off the ground. As the gear beneath her rotated, she continued to just float in place! "Heck yeah!" Rose cried out excitedly, slowly floating forwards.
Right at the edge of the gear, Rose allowed herself to just drop, slowly moving forwards until she landed on the metallic catwalk. Her wings quickly tucking back up, she finally looked around.
"Oh... Oh crap."
She had seen some levers earlier, but now the truth was revealed. There wasn't just one lever, or two. There had to be at least a hundred here. Pointing in all kinds of directions, all over multiple consoles.
Her head hurt already.

This world was filled with gears, cogs, and the hiss of steam as this world seemingly powered some unseen machine. She was genuinely stunned, having no idea what she was looking at as she stood atop a massive platform. Her eyes were gazing across everything moving, before the ground suddenly shook beneath her, rotating slowly. She was standing on this massive, slow-moving gear!
Rose looked around, trying to find the Pokémon. It didn't take long before she spotted the little seed, seemingly clutched in some kind of harness, spinning around some cog that rapidly shifted around the room in unpredictable ways. This device was so complicated, she couldn't even see them half the time.
"Hello?" Rose called out, trying to get their attention. "I'm here to get you out!"
What she got in response, was nothing like she was expecting. It was like their words were cut out into silence every couple of seconds, maybe something strange about this land.
"Oh, ____ing fantastic. Another fu____ing human, here to mess up my day. Go ahead, you little __it. It's not like you can do worse than that ____ng she-devil ___hole." It shouted back, with such genuine vile and vitriol in its tone. Rose was genuinely taken aback, startled and flopping onto her butt.
"I swear, I was just chilling. Just existing, doing my own ___ing thing. When this little ___it comes out of nowhere and starts talking about me getting in their way! Newsflash, I was just existing! And the __ch has the gall to kick me! Me!" The voice echoes around the chamber, growing quieter and louder as its moved around the room in random movements, even going up and down, back and forth, side to side.
"And then! She ___ng sacrifices me! Tosses me in the hole! Like I'm just some god___ pest! I fought for my life! I knocked out so many of her _____ Pokemon! And they kept coming back! Why the hell didn't they leave? Why did they keep ____ing coming back? Did they want to make me miserable? Did they just want me to ____ suffer?" The last words sounded more... sad, than angry. Like the trauma had built up for months and months, with no outlet, no way to cope, just bottling up all this pain, hurt, and anger inside them.
How long had they been trapped here?
Rose still didn't know know what to do, but her poor heart hurt. She just frowned deeply, slowly spinning as the gear beneath her would occasionally click and rotate to the next gear.
"...What's required is a little care."
"Umm... Mr. Seed?"
"What the ____ do you want?" It replied angrily, pain audible in its voice.
"Do you, umm, want to come home with me? I promise I'll give you lots of snacks! I'll even give you cereal if you want it! And we can go find that mean lady, a-and tell her how rude she was!"
The Seedot didn't respond. For a moment, Rose almost thought it didn't hear her. She was just about to start up again before their voice spoke up again.
"Fine. But we're finding that ____ing lady. And this time, I'm going to be the one kicking her."
With a smile, Rose finally got back up to her feet. "Okay!" Now it was just time to figure out, how to actually bring them home.

Waiting for the right cup? Rose couldn't help but hum in thought at that suggestion. Plants in nature didn't really grow in cups, but her friends' seeds were! Maybe she just needed a better cup? Water it? Maybe some really nice dirt?
She imagined plants liked good dirt. Even if it didn't taste good. They probably tasted differently.
Rose stared up at the statues, almost as if expecting them to stare back. She didn't really know what to make of this whole thing. What was through the door? What waited for her beyond?
She hoped it wasn't a giant cup. That would be a little bit in poor taste, even for her! She wouldn't know where to find another cup!
Still, she looked up at Seta with a happy grin, giggling softly. "I care so much about my little friends! I'll make sure the seed friend is taken care of too. I promise, I'll come back and let him say hello to you before we go!"
With that said, Rose finally walked through the darkness. Without even a single second to prepare herself, the world around her changed almost instantly.

Rose loved this game, so much. She played almost every day after she got home.
When she wasn't playing with her friends, or doing her homework, that is. But it was precisely those friends that filled her head with ideas. Some of them knew so much more about Pokémon than she could ever dream of!
Susie said her older brother was a Pokémon Champion! That was hard to top!
But they were such a wealth of information and advice. Especially considering her egg friend that she had here. Zygarde. It apparently showed up in the games when the ecosystem was threatened. She had recently learned about stuff like that in school! Where animals and plants lived, the weather, and everything else! It was kind of interesting and cool, she had asked so many questions about it all!
But today, she was set out on a quest. Ostellia looked like it's ecosystem was a little bit messed up. Plants had grown right back through the city streets, a mess of ships filled the waters, and desert stands creeped even closer into the broken city.
It seemed like the perfect place that could use a Zygarde friend to help keep the balance. No Pokémon lived here! Only these weird beasts that didn't look like Pokémon at all.
She had just recently found this old abandoned parking garage that had a massive tree growing straight out of the center of it, vines swirling around and cracking through the concrete. And she instantly decided this was the perfect place.
If the Zygarde back in the Worm Tree lived in a tree, surely this tree would be good for a baby! She even had a place to park her Jeep! The bright red Jeep sat in the corner of the concrete basement layer of the parking garage, playing some strange music. Her Sprigatito sat shamelessly on the driver's seat, rubbing its paws together as it laid there lazily.
"And what exactly do you have there?" The cat spoke, motioning to the garbage bag Rose dragged from the trunk of the vehicle. She had to literally drop it on the ground and drag it, far too heavy for her to lift!
"Oh! It's full of green things!" Rose grinned widely, as if that explained everything as she fought to drag the bag to the tree.
"... Like, plants?"
"No, silly! Okay, well, maybe some plants! But just, a lot of cool green things!" She stopped where she was, just dumping it out onto the broken concrete floor. All kinds of garbage just spread out, rolling around. From broken green pencils she scavanged to old green bottles that hadn't decayed, and even bits of green glass and ripped shirts! It looked like she even had the top-half of an old plastic chair, cracked down the middle.
"Umm, pardon me, but what exactly is the goal? I don't think eggs particularly enjoy garbage."
"It's not garbage! It's recycling! I learned about it in school! My friends said that the great wormy might love this kind of stuff!"
"Yeah, yeah. Okay. Recycling. Cool. If you need me, I'm going to be taking a nap." The Sprigatito said, curling up on the heated seats of the Jeep, soaking in its warmth.
"I need you to keep an eye out! If any of those nasty beasties come by, I need you to warn me! Or help fight!" Rose warned, frowning softly as she picked up a few scraps of green-ish fabric, carrying it over to the tree.
"Yeah, yeah. I will." The cat spoke, like a liar.
After all, Rose playing music from the Jeep alone probably attracted more attention than her playing in garbage would have, after all. She wasn't exactly the only trainer in this ruined city. Hearing modern music would probably attract almost anyone.

"Come on wormie egg, we're gonna make our way to see the big worm!" Rose spoke softly, giggling to herself as she held the Zygarde Egg in her hands. She cradled it gently, as if it was going to get stolen from her hands like all the shiny things around them! Perhaps exposure to the Tree of Worms might help it hatch?
After all, the cool little shapes were shifting all around in a brilliant lime-green. That certainly seemed shiny to her.
"Uh, other worm friend?" She looked over at her Orthworm, who was seemingly content to just exist, slithering around her, using their weird orb arms to Mud Slap any Pidgey that got too close.
"Aye aye, you lil' Sweetheart you. I'll escort you down to the big worm. Been meanin' to meet the big guy myself. He seems finer than frogs' hair split four ways."
"... Uh, is that a good thing?"
"Yes."
"Okay, good!" Prompt #24: [Tower]7Z9wv1bQ1d50 1d50

Another vote for cat, it seemed! With a laugh, Rose helped continue the search. She kneeled down, picking up a big rock that had been stuck in the ground, as if somehow an egg could hide under it.
She hummed listening to the other trainer speak. How expensive were eggs in the real world? She didn't know! Didn't like, chickens just make free eggs? Why did food have to cost money anyways? That always seemed silly to her. She understood when candy cost money! But eggs? Too far.
"I- uhh," Rose suddenly froze in thought at the question of the egg shirt came into play. Did she buy it? She certainly has it still, but where did she get the money for it? Did Auntie Tuesday get it for her? Did she spent her own bytes? She couldn't remember... Oh god, she hoped she didn't steal it. Stealing would be very bad. She could get in a lot of trouble for that! Worse than riding a bike without a helmet!
"Oh!" Rose was thankful for the distraction with the strange red fabric square. "I don't have a clue! Maybe it's a bandana? I've seen a few trainers with them! They're kind of common for some reason!"
She giggled to herself, glancing over at Moab who was busy at work shoving off another log, before peering into a hole in the ground.
"Find anything yet?"
"... Do you count leaves, rocks, logs, and mud as something?"
"Umm, yes? But anything interesting!"
"Then no."

"Yeah! I'm looking for eggs!" She splashed in the pile of leaves like it was water, giggling to herself before she finally stood up. "Me and and my cat have been looking for forever!"
"You know, we never did truly figure out if I was a cat or not," Moab the Type: Null replied, politely making their way over towards the other trainer as Rose did. "There seemed to be some complicated discussion on the matter.
"Oh, whatever! Point is, we're trying to find an egg friend!" Rose would smile extremely widely up at the trainer, only to see them with only a Grookey. "... Ooh! Did you just start?" Rose asked excitedly, grinning ear to ear. "Eggs are lovely! Great ways to build a team! I found Cheese in an egg, they're lovely!" She laughed, spinning in place for a second, digging a few leaves out of her hair. "Last time I was here though, there was like, a big sale at a gift shop? I think? People wanted egg gifts, or something. I don't know why though. I did also get a shirt with an egg on it that day, though, so that was cute!"
Not much one for a ton of conversation, Moab put their helmet to the ground once more, slowly digging and lifting up a few spare logs, hoping to find an egg. They didn't know what an egg looked like, but they'd probably recognize it when they saw it.

"It's beautiful."
Rose didn't know what else to say, just staring in awe. A vehicle, all to her own. Bright red and super fancy! When she had won the Jeep in her lootbox, she was expecting something small. Maybe kid-sized for her. But no, this was better than anything her parents had ever owned! Or drove, for that matter!
Just sitting in the front seat, all the buttons were almost overwhelming. So many knobs, so many buttons, so much everything! There were little dials on the dash, little sticks coming up from the middle, and buttons all over the steering wheel! She didn't have a clue what any of it meant.
But it was the most exciting gift she had ever gotten. Asides from UNOVR itself, anyways.
"Wow, who died and gave you this?" Her Sprigatito jumped up into the front seat onto her lap, licking its paws as Rose just sat there with the door open on the broken streets of the Forgotten Nexus.
"Uh, C0D13_2! But he didn't die, he left. But I got this! And it's really cool!"
"Aren't you a little too young to be driving?"
"Probably. But I own this! And I don't see any adults saying I can't drive! It's my car! Have you seen anyone else with a car?"
The cat paused, blinking in thought. Now that they thought about it, nobody had anything like this. Except Rose now. "... I suppose not."
"See! Told you!" She closed the door, and grabbed the small key in her hands. "I just gotta, umm, put the key in, and turn it, I think!"
After struggling to find the hole for the key for about a minute or two, she finally put it in, turned the key, and the engine rumbled loudly to life. Bright lights flashed all across the console, a screen forming in the middle of the car. Almost immediately, music began to blare loudly.
If the engine rumbling to life in the otherwise dead city didn't attract any attention, the blaringly loud music would have. A very familiar song, but far too loud. "Aaa!" Rose screamed, fumbling for the little numb with a power button to turn it down, letting out a sigh of relief. "That hurt my ears!"
"You're telling me," the Sprigatito said, who had swiftly dropped to the floor by the pedals as the music blared. "And my hearing is better than yours. Or at least, it used to be."

"So you see, all Pokemon come from eggs!" Rose explained to her Type: Null, Moab, as the two wandered around the Rookery. Her little beetle wings fluttered behind her, disturbing the leaves and shaking them away as she gently pushed through the massive piles of leaves.
"And here, a lot of eggs fall down from the big nest way up there! And then they land for us to find them!"
The Type: Null didn't quite understand, but they were politely kicking some leaves away as well. "... But I did not come from an Egg. I was born, already me."
"I-" Rose paused, slumping down into the grass. She didn't really know how to answer that question. "... I uh, I guess legendary Pokemon are special!"
"And what makes me, legendary? What is this title you speak of?"
"I, umm... I admit, I'm not sure." She flopped down onto her back into the soft leaves, giggling to herself. Her wings seemingly folded right back up into the little beetle shell that kept them hidden when not in use. "I think it just means you're stronger!"
"Hmm, yes." Moab stood proudly, gazing across the endless discarded leaves. "Strength. A good way to describe me."
"Hehe, you're so silly." Rose giggled, rolling about in the leaves before finally sitting up again. She spotted someone in the distance!
"Oh, hey! Over here! Are you looking for egg friends too?"

Rose didn't know what a "Chaos Dragon Egg" was, but it sounded exactly like the kind of thing she wanted.
Chaos, Dragons, Eggs? Three things she all liked! What could possibly go wrong?
Rose arrived at the shrine with a wide grin, just in time to see a massive blast of lightning flicker by. "WOAH!" Rose immediately cried out, her eyes almost literally sparkling with excitement. What caused that? Was that the shrine?
She quickly scrambled about, her beetle wings fluttering behind her in excitement, climbing up to the nearest person almost like a bug would, her hands just sticking to the wall before lifting herself up. "Did you see that! The lightning! It went, kablam! And- Ooh!"
Her words died on her lips, seeing the multicolored reflective egg in their hands, that must be the Chaos Dragon Egg! "Oh! Hey! I'm actually here to trade for the egg! You posted that, right?"
She fumbled about in her inventory, pulling out what appeared to be a burning flame that just floated in place. "I don't know what this is, other than it being a Fiery Spirit, but I'd love to trade it for the egg if you want!" She couldn't help but wonder, what it would hatch into.

Rose was so excited.
She had gotten so many lootboxes! Granted, they were things she didn't know what to do with, but she could always trade them! People loved trading!
Of course, she hadn't traded with anyone yet, but she heard it was a big deal! All these items had to be worth something special! She just grinned to herself, even as the line was impossibly long to redeem the last two lootboxes of the day from beating up that Porygon2 lad.
Honestly, she punched him only once, but it felt great!
She giggled to herself as she finally approached the stand and held out her little cute pink phone, shaking it a little bit, "Two Precipice Loot Crates, please! From Codey! Thank you, Miss Bethany Lady! I hope you have a good day!"

Rose honestly, didn't quite seem to understand what was going on. Her phone was absolutely a hand-me-down from her cousin, and the app didn't quite work so well. But she had just finally got it working in time to suddenly see a massive Porygon 2 floating down the hallway.
"Woah!" She blinked, grinning widely to herself in shock. These AR glasses were so neat!
"Umm- Okay, how do I-" She mumbled to herself, glancing up at the Pokemon boss, back down to her phone. Did she really only have one attack? She pressed the button, and the animation of a smack appeared on screen like a cute graphic. Or maybe more of a tackle? It was hard to tell! Still, the HP went down, so it must have worked!
"Ooh, good! You're going down, meanie! Don't wake up Mr. John! He's sleeping! You can't wake someone up when they are sleeping, that's rude! Bad boy! You might also wake up. Ms. Naptime! You can't wake her up, she's a sleepy!"
Of course, her attention was immediately drawn to the man suddenly yelling about killing the Porygon2. Were they supposed to kill? A look of immediate confusion, worry, and fear spread across her face. She'd never killed a Pokemon before! That would be wrong!
"Uh, excuse me, Mister?" She spoke towards orioncayge , her little legs quickly running to catch up with the crowd. "Uh, don't Pokemon faint?"

The bug ride was awesome! Well, it was also a time to take pictures of cute bug friends to get points, but she spent most of the ride just looking at all the cute bugs, snapping pictures of everything she saw, she didn't even notice she had won until the end! Looks like she had found a worm friend with armor in the back of one of her pictures, and the game counted it as a victory for her! Lucky! Rose walked right up to the counter this time, far more politely placing down the ticket atop the counter. "Excuse me, Bethany! I got another ticket today! And- and ooh! I can share with you some cute bugs that I saw earlier if you want! I printed out a few photos from the game!"

Another reward! The fancy boots she got in the game were super fun, but she couldn't help but want to see what else she could get! The little child danced to and fro, spinning in place in line until she eventually made her way up to the front.
"Hello again, Bethany! I won another prize!" She slapped down her ticket on the counter, having to jump upwards to do so. "I can't wait to see what lovely thing you give me this time! Ooh, ooh, can I have my little flying ship from the raid? That would be so cool! And totally worth being in that dark room for forever!"
Spinning a wheel in a dark room, how silly. Maybe she just missed all the cool, fun unique stuff about it! Or maybe she just got very lucky nothing bad ever happened!
