The Adamant Change

Chapter 7 part 1: The ghostly lacrama

Tikel's POV

We traveled onward and had reached the start of the time temple but as i looked at it more and more i found myself engrossed in looking at its architectural structure. "Rather large for a temple." Liger said which snapped me back to reality.

"Yeah it is but for lord dialga's praise it suits as the right place." I told liger and he just gave me an odd look that i didnt pay heed to. "We shall progress onwards into the temple." I said and walked inside with the others following behind.

The entry area was rather large in of itself and had many a metal pillar inside and also had stairs leading onwards in many directions. "Well looks like this is gonna be fun." Ameta spoke although after she did i heard some form of noise and spun to see what caused it.

A pedestal rose from the ground and i had approached it and saw something written on it. "Time itself can never be truly mastered and those fools that think they can control it have no rights to the power of senescence but rather will perish in all the ways seen fit by dialga the deity of time." I read the writing and heard liger make a gasp.

"Does that mean we might die here or something?" Liger asked and ameta smirked. "No building is gonna beat me!" Ameta smirked and i just sighed. "To succeed we need to make it through here and to do that we will have to face the many trials and traps." I stated. "I will display why i was chosen."

Kian smiled. "Well then lets go no need to wait here for nothing." Kian said and i agreed although liger did give a not so joy filled look. "Guess we have to keep going." Liger said looking rather frightened of what could be in store for us.

"Its okay because we are a team and we wont give in on each other." Kian said and we all nodded.

I lead on towards the first staircase that lead upwards on the left side and as we went up i heard a chattering noise and also a clanging sound. 'What could that be? A trap maybe?' I thought to myself and continued up the stairs but making sure to do so carefully.

We got up all the stairs and this floor had many figures of history and armaments as well. "Hmm still doesnt explain the chattering noise." Liger said and kian nodded to agree.

The further we went on through the halls of the floor the more i could feel something odd. 'Its like i have seen this before.' I said to myself then decided to touch a wall and saw something... something dark.

Tikel's vision:

The halls were dark and pokemon with ghost like appearences gathered near the paintings and armours then another pokemon stepped from the shadows with a candle. "Now then i think this might work better... my ghostly henchmen observe." The figure said then went inside of the painting himself it was from that the painting gained a purple glow.

"This is what we shall do for the protection of the lacrama of the ghost room is worth protecting." The ghost said from the painting and after doing so the other ghost pokemon possessed the paintings and armours.

I stepped back from the wall and breathed rather heavily but after seeing my vision i heard the same ghostly voice. "You dont belong here! Leave this sacred place or suffer by the hands of the ghostly creatures that control this domain!" The voice shouted and i saw liger and the others glance around.

"Where did that come from!" Liger yelled and as he did a murky black coloured fist came out of the painting near liger and i knew i had to do something.

As the hand got closer to liger i used air slash and cut it off and liger turned around to face the nub of an arm left. "They are in the paintings and sets of armour!" I called and now taking heed the others focused more on the surroundings and if anything came out of the paintings we were ready.

As we went down the hall we kept having to face more and more ghosts but other than a few incidents, like kian getting slammed into a few walls we had been lasting out rather well until we reached nearer to the door because it was from that i had seen the dark ghostly figure himself.

"You made it this far... but you wont get the ghostly lacrama." The ghost type said. After he spoke i noticed something about this ghost type. 'Its strange... this ghost type isnt like the others.' I told the others with my telepathy and kian and ameta smirked. 'All the more fun.' The two thought but i knew this ghost wasnt gonna be easy to beat.

"My name is zylopara and i am the guard of this lacrama." Zylopara smirked and i noticed something about him but it was something even more odd. 'Its a coffin.' I thought as i looked at the ghost.

"Ah you see i am an impressive specimen... i am a cofagregus and i am the guard of this lacrama!" He shouted and all the walls and floor had peeled away and reformed into a ghostly chamber.

Liger and kian went wide eyed while ameta was starting to call her dark aura around her. "This is the power the ghost lacrama blessed me with and i shall end you here and now!" The cofagregus jammed its four ghostly hands into the ground and then made dark energy form under us and as it did i moved and so did ameta.

Liger and kian got gripped by two of the ghost's dark hands and any struggling they made just added to its grip on them. Ameta charged up an ice punch and ran towards the area liger was but as she did the cofagregus launched one of its two free fists at ameta.

"Now now girl." The ghost laughed but as the fist got closer ameta turned and used her dark aura ice punch on it which froze the arm on contact. "Why you!" The ghost yelled at ameta.

While the ghost was distracted with ameta i went to kian and used air slash and cut the arm of the ghost which freed kian and now left the ghost with only two arms but after freeing kian the cofagregus launched a shadow ball at me and with how fast it went i knew i wasnt going to dodge it.

I got hit by the shadow ball and now was in a sore shape and my left wing had a soccer ball size indent on it and skin and feathers missing but luckily the shadow ball didnt go through it.
