#ghost maybe?

gym leader clef au

more specifically, around the third-ish town, the gym is closed, and the gym trainers say they're worried since the gym leader's away, and there's this... really scary guy who's taken over the gym and who managed to lock them out!

so you pledge to try and beat the guy inside and get them back in, of course! but the trainers are worried for you, since his pokemon are stronger than theirs. and they're gym trainers, too! so you have to beat them before they let you into the gym. or, if you're a little less fight-happy, you can sneak in through a hidden door in the back, but the game doesn't tell you that.

either way, you get into the gym, which looks like a neon demon threw up in it, and you have to make your way through a series of illusory puzzles to get to the center! and when you finally get there, you find the person who's taken over the gym: a terrifying man who you can barely believe is human.

his pokemon are formidable, each one with the same theme of trickery and each with attacks that hit deceptively hard. but if you manage to beat him, after a hard fight...

then he laughs and offers you a gym badge.

you just beat the gym leader, alto clef.

9. Tell a story from your childhood

The meme is OOC, but I/C or OOC, your choice!

Awww, thank you <3 Never feel obligated to ask things. It's always nice to get them, but I know people only have limited energy sometimes~

A childhood story, hmm... I'll go with my first spooky encounter.

When I was around about 12 I used to sing in the Church choir. I'm not religious, never have been, but my Gran was one of the main sopranos and I liked to sing so she brought me along for fun. I enjoyed it, even if the songs sometimes were a bit boring.

But we used to sing in a really old Church. Like, hadnae been renovated since early 1960's and built in 1800's kinda old. It had big metal heaters and a distinct lack of comfy chairs.

We used to sing in the side rooms attached to the house on the right but I needed to ask the conductor a question, so I followed them in through one of the side corridors behind the main church room. Unfortunately, the rooms behind the main kirk are curved to go around the organ. The conductor went one way and I went the other.

Being small and slight, I didn't make much sound so they left and shut the door with me inside. Locked in and moved on.

For some reason I never thought to knock or yell, I just carried on around the corridor with the thought of 'it'll circle back round and I'll be fine'. Nope. It led me out into the main room, dark as a winter's night with only the faint glow of the street coming through the stained glass.

I did what any child in a strange room would do, I climbed up on the main dais and investigated the stuff usually out of reach of tiny hands; the little bookstand, the basin, but most importantly the organ.

That was when I started hearing a weird sound. It was like a chime bell but it never tailed off. Easn't tinitus either because I've had that since I was small. It was clear and bright, just like a hand bell.

When I turned to look there was a very faint blue light just chilling in one of the pews. Wasn't moving, no distinct shape it was just.. there. I sat down on the end of the dais and we stared at each other for a short while. It was a curious feeling, sort of like when you make faces at a baby in a pram and it grins back.

It didn't take long for my Gran to come looking for me though, and it left when she opened the side door. She did the adult half-believing thing when I told her too, bless.

So there you go! Hope it was at least interesting and thank you for askin :D

All I remember was playing with some kinda toy gun, like a nerf gun or something, and my mom mentioning that my dad would have liked that. I remember smiling and saying “yeah” then looking up and saying “well do you like it?”. Then in my dream the light flickered. I excitedly was about to tell my mom to look at the light when suddenly the dream just…. Crashed. Like when a tape skips or a video freezes and the audio just keeps droned out, stuck on one line? The images also got blurred like they froze/crashed too and all while this was going on I felt like electricity was surging through my body. I felt like screaming and all I could do was that odd frozen diologue of me saying “liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight” like an error’d sound clip. Then I just… Woke up. Dream ended, I was in bed, I slowly opened my eyes…. And wow my heart was beating, my skin was cold, I had goosebumps… I had never felt like that after a nightmare.

Usually I’ll wake up, say how weird that was, then ease myself back into sleep. I couldnt this time. I closed my eyes again and suddenly my eyes lit up with white, like I was suddenly dreaming again, but I wasn’t. I was vivid but it wasnt REM or sleep pralysis… I was just seeing weird white light when I closed my eyes. Then as it dissapeared I got the worst chilling sensation ever… Goosebumps, hair raised, the whole nine yards… I hadnt felt that way since I listened to EVPs by myself at 1 in the morning and could have sworn a ghost was behind me.

I felt scared. I STILL feel scared…

Whiiiich is why I’m awake now at 4:30 in the morning… I am really having trouble sleeping now that I’m freaked out and thinking about ghosts and a freaky dream.
