As our heroes travel toward their next adventure at the Fuchsia gym, they stopped for a quick rest.

Niko: Hmm. We should be close to Fuchsia City now.

Duplica: I'm sure we are. It feels like we've been walking through these mountains for days now.

Kota: I know how you feel. Hm? Just then, Kota looked behind. He thought he had heard something. Hmm. He turned back and decided to ignore it.

However....

Haunter: Haunter....

Soon, our heroes come across a plank that crosses a gorge with a river running through it. Niko disperses his weight across the plank like a Seel and crawls across the plank. Duplica walks along the plank like a tightrope with Ditto on her head. Kota easily leaps over the gorge.

Duplica: Uhh...Duplica was dumbfounded.

Niko: Eevee, just don't look down. Eevee shook as it took a quick peek.

Eevee: Vee! (I looked) Eevee loses its balance, but Niko quickly catches it. After getting across the gorge, they continue onward.

Kota: Look. They stop and notice a mansion.

Duplica: A mansion? Out here?

Duplica: A mansion? Out here?

Niko: Could this be the Fuchsia Gym? Niko wondered.

As our heroes walk in, a Venonat watches them from the trees as they head inside.

Kota: It's pretty rare to find houses like this still around.

Duplica: I think it looks nice.

Niko: Hello? Is anyone here? Niko called out, but there was no response.

Duplica: Strange. Where is everyone?

Kota: Hmm. Kota leaned against a wall, but suddenly falls through it.

Niko: Kota?

Eevee: Vee vee? (Where'd he go)

Duplica: Strange. Duplica walked up to the wall. Niko, take a look. It's a revolving door.

Niko: A what?

Duplica: A revolving door is a trap people use to make it seem like they disappeared. Duplica pushed the wall, showing Kota on the floor rubbing the back of his head.

Kota: Ow. This is one strange house.

Niko: Wow.

Duplica: My dad used to be a pretty good stage magician. And he showed me a thing or two.

Venonat: Venonat.

Kota: Niko, did you let Venonat out?

Niko: Uh, no, Venonat's right here. He confirmed pulling out his Pokéball.
