Pokemon Dreams

Quiet footsteps echoed through the foundations of a long lost empire, the sound of something dragging along the ground falling shortly behind the male dressed in fine white clothing. What seemed to be a smile on his face left unfaded, something amusing him so much that a small, yet subtle laugh escaped his vocals, echoing quietly throughout the walls of this dream-like environment, a peaceful silence broken by his eerie chuckle. The dragging noise came from a large being held within his right hand, being dragged lifelessly across the ground, leaving behind scrapes on the crystalline floor. It was a large creature, one he had never seen before but did not care enough to leave it alive. "Survival of the fittest", as most would say, but he preferred it another way. "All the weak shall perish and the strong will prosper." Something he had come up with himself, and not one he was hesitant to share with others given that they challenged him, especially considering the predicament he was in.

Summoned here by an unknown force and not likely to leave by the same force, he was welcomed with a harsh assault on his person by this creature. Was it a guardian of this forsaken place? Was it merely wanting to challenge him? Regardless, it wasn't going to worry about that any longer, so why should he? All that he needed to focus on was a way out, something he wasn't quite sure of how to do. Certainly he would need to find the one that had summoned him here in the first place? He received no instruction, no introduction, only appearing in this place before being challenged by a now deceased creature.

Coming to a halt at the edge of a long drop, he stood looking over that long gap for a small moment before thrusting his arm forward, the large creature being flung with effortless force down that mountain. The man dressed in white could not guess just how far that drop would go, but he didn't care. He would have at least wished to hear the sound of bones breaking, cracking as that large beast hit the ground with a loud thud. But alas, he had better things to be doing. And as long as he is here, might as well make himself perfectly at home, yes?

He got a long good look at the creature before he departed back toward the lobby, where he had been summoned, his sub-conscious had been leading him there during this time. That thing was a very large, blue, winged being, something which he would only see fitting in an icy palace like this one. He couldn't help but think of it as a small cliche, that a guardian would be protecting a place that this man clearly had no interest in. He disliked the texture as he frowned, touching the walls with his gloved hands. The trail left behind on that contact began to envelop in an oddly discolored purple flame, the slow process of manipulated ice beginning to fade into a gas, taking only a matter of seconds to do so. What manner of power would allow this man the ability to sublimate what he touches without utilizing open contact? His finger flicked along the edge of the wall as he entered the circular lobby. A stairway located to his right, meaning he had left what was the right wing of the place, to his left was an exit, and in front of him another hallway mirrored in the same fashion to the one he had just exited. Taking no further interest in what he was seeing, his gaze fixed to the door located to the left, as he departed for it.

"Now what in the world is it that I am doing here? Certainly that thing had not summoned me here just for this? Now that would be troublesome."

He smiled as his hand pressed against the closed, frozen doors that lead outside. A small push was left in vain as they would not budge. His smile faded to a frown as this obstacle was beginning to annoy him. His opposing hand slipped into his pocket as the index and middle finger pressed to his thumb and flicked in a rapid motion. In an instant, what was once the location of a door was now a large hole enveloped in purple flames. He wasn't about to let a door stop him, now was he? With a smile returning to his face, he took his first step to freedom.
