Who: Ryou Bakura + IV
Where: Ecruteak City
When: 26/04-27/04
Summary: Urban Exploring in a burned out tower, what can go wrong?
Rating: PG-13 for IV's potty mouth and Ryou's love for the occult.


Beating the gym had gone surprisingly smooth for the most part - Shark's attempt to beat up ghosts using nothing but brute Normal-typed force aside. After the challenge, IV had brought his team to the Pokecenter to recuperate while he himself kicked back at the inn room he's staying at in the meantime. By dusk he had eaten a good meal at one of the Ecrutea's fancier eateries, picked up his pokemon ...and made the big mistake of letting some of them out as he explored the rest of the town. 

His new Shuppet had made a beeline for the Burned Tower just to vanish within it, leaving IV to first to call after it, and when that failed, traipse in to get the curious apparition back out. Which went well until it didn't go well anymore.

IV yelps as the floorboards break beneath him, sending him tumbling down to god knows where. 

"GODSDAMMIT!!"

[Unlike IV, Ryou decided to beeline directly for the Burned Tower after his win at Morty's gym. Well, almost directly, he had to go let his team recover at the Pokémon Center, get something to eat, refill his travel thermos with coffee, and then wait until it started getting dark to go look in the tower.

He even had the chance to find and catch a shiny Skorupi in town while waiting for dusk to come. A lucky find for sure, and Ryou's taking it to mean good luck.

Once in the tower, Ryou manages to find his way to the lower areas, Banshee and Hinotama trailing after him to keep him from hurting himself in the ruins (and, in the case of Hinotama, to also provide some light). He's having a pretty good time exploring, despite the encroaching dark impeding his vision, when he hears a scream and something comes tumbling down from above.]


What the- [Ryou runs over, blinking as he recognizes who it is once he gets close enough to tell.] -IV? Are you okay?
