Drained

"Face it, man, you're lost," I stated aloud. I sent out my Charmander to assist me in this Arceus-forsaken tower. I walked up the stairs, trying to find away out of this labyrinth, when suddenly, Charmander loses his flame. I turn around and pick him up, his lifeless body turning into ash in my palms.

''Charmander's flame represents its life energy. If its tail is put out, Charmander will die.''

I looked around, hearing a faint, almost taunting cry. ''"Liiiitwick..." ''I walked toward the sound with pokeball in hand and stopped. I sent out my Pikachu. "''Pikachu, use Flash!" ''The tower iluminated for a split second, then I hear the cry drawing closer...

"Liiiitwick..."

The more I heard that cry, the more infuriated I got, knowing that Litwick was somehow the cause of my Pokemon's deaths. I finally see the purplish flame in front of me glow a dark blue, evolving into Lampent.

"Lamp. Lammpent?"

I saw its tempting minature lanterns rock back and forth... back and forth... I hesitantly followed Lampent, my guard up, one hand on the pokeball that held Tyranitar. My vision blurred, and I fell on the floor in front of me. I sent out Tyranitar, but next thing I knew, I felt its crushing body mass on my back. I know this may be the last time I go on an adventure, but... stay away from Celestial Tower...

''A box appeared over the young trainer's head. "There is no response. It seems as though he was drained." The Lampent floated away, snickering, having had its fill for the day.''
