Brittany started to run having no idea where to run to with Jigglypuff and Azurill right behind her, she was just running forward hoping to outrun the rain or find a place for them to hide from it. With much luck as she jumped through a huge shrub, she found a large 2-story marble house . She stopped on her tracked examining it & by the looks of it, it looks old with faded white paint all around with some broken windows & there was no lights illuminating inside so she prsumed it's probably deserted. Brittany's thoughts were interrupted as soon as Jigglypuff was pushing her ankles indicating her to run inside as they hear the thunder not far behind. She then sprinted towards the house and as they arrived in the front porch, she pressed a doorbell on the side of the door which was not working so she tried knocking next but still no answer, she tried knocking louder but the door slightly opened indicated that it wasn't closed properly. Brittany looked at her team having a silent conversation if they should enter but as they heard the thunder roar just above them with rain finally caught up with them pouring hard on the porch they rushed through the door knowing they have nowhere else to go.
As they enter the building, Brittany saw numerous light switches by the entrance and tried them all until only one switch by some miracle illuminated two opposite wall lamps in the area which was slightly flickering at first but once it stabilized, she got to look and observe the place they just entered in. They are standing on wooden floors that are squeaky in some places, it seems like it's been abandoned for a while with broken down furniture and worn-down curtains on the cracked windows, there were also raindrops escaping the rooftop in some areas as they looked up with a slightly damaged chandelier hanging at the middle of the foyer and in front of them was a grand staircase that doesn't look that sturdy in some steps. The only sound they could hear is the thunder and bristles from the wind outside with the pattering of the rain inside the house which caused the 3 pokemon clinging onto Brittany like their life depended of it.
Brittany: Well, this is better than standing under the rain. Let's just wait for the rain to end so we can travel back home ok guys? (Brittany tries to reassure the little pokemon with a small smile)
Brittany then walked towards the area where she presumed is the living room at left side as she spotted a couch silhouette earlier. As she entered the room, it was quite dark and the only time she gets to see anything around it was when the thunder appears within the room which causes more fear towards the trainer and the small pokemon so she decided to go back to the foyer with the dimly-lighted area since she doesn't plan to take a big adventure around the eerie house in the first place. She suddenly felt a gust of wind hitting the back of her neck and she suddenly whipped her head to the opposite direction looking towards the main hall. She thought maybe a gust of wind entered the house through the windows. As she was heading back, she felt someone pulled some of her hair which caused her to yelp and turn around once again but again saw nothing. She was beginning to have bad vibes in this house but she knows she has to be strong for her Pokemon who were looking at her with worried eyes. She then looked at them once again and continued to put on a brave face for them.
Brittany: It must be the wind. It is kind of chilly here isn't it? (She tried to lightened the mood while stroking Togepi's spikes.)
She was casually walking back towards the foyer until there was a particularly loud thunder that caused a sudden short-circuit with the lights and everything suddenly turned pitch black which caused Brittany to trip on a rug and hit her head on the side of the couch and knocked her unconscious.
Brittany woke up due to a splash of water hitting her face. Turns out Azurill woke her up using water gun. As she was standing up, she noticed the lights were back on and she saw Azurill and Jigglypuff just beside her but she couldn't see Togepi anywhere.
Brittany: Togepi?! Togepi?! Where are you Togepi?! Have you guys seen Togepi?!
Both pokemon shook their heads confirming they haven't seen the spike-ball pokemon since the brownout. Brittany started to panic and ran towards the foyer screaming Togepi's name. They all scrambled around calling out for their lost companion, all of the sudden they saw something rolling off the old stairs. It was the half-eaten pear that Togepi has been eating, which means one thing, Togepi must be upstairs.
Brittany: How the hell did it get up there?! Hmppp.. Let's go find Togepi. Be careful. (Advised Brittany to the two small pokemon behind her.)
Brittany started going up the stairs slowly as possible to check the sturdiness of each step, hearing it creaking every now and then while carrying Azurill under her left arm. They were halfway throught the stairs when thunder struck once again which showed a spikey shadow casted behind them which caused Jigglypuff to run so fast up the stairs tripping at the final step and landing face first in the floor. Brittany followed pursuit turning back not seeing anything which may cast the shadow earlier thinking it was maybe a branch illuminating at the night. She helped Jigglypuff stand up and they looked both left and right deciding which way Togepi may have went. Jigglypuff's ears perked up and stared at the left hallway.
Brittany: What is it Jiggly? Can you hear Togepi?!
Jigglypuff: Jiggly! (nodding profusely while walking towards the darken hallway, now remembering she has small flashlight kept in her bagpack in case of emergencies like this.)
As they were passing through the hallways through the flashlight, she sees old paintings of buildings, pokemon & possible previous owners hung on the tattered walls. Still shining a light on the hallway, they suddenly felt a gust of wind behind them and they could hear faint sounds up ahead which they assumed as footsteps so they assumed it was togepi's so Jigglypuff jogged a little faster forward thinking they can catch it.
Brittany: Togepi, is that you?! (Brittany asked in rather loud until a gust of wind flew in front of them that stopped them in their tracks.)
Jigglypuff: Jigggggly? (Jigglypuff exclaimed in a nervous manner)
Brittany: Azurill, water gun now! (Pointing Azurill who is still in her arms forward not really sure what they are targeting at.)
Azurill: Aaaaazurill! (Azurill used her watergun aiming straight forward hitting nothing but the gust of eerie wind began to encircle them sending shivers down their spines with Jigglypuff clinging onto Brittany's left leg all of the sudden, then a flash of light was flicking behind them and as they turned they saw a floating human-shaped like entity appearing in front of them which caused both pokemon and their trainer to scream and ran towards the opposite direction of the entity while hearing some faint sounds & footstep like noises following them thinking it was from the unidentified entity behind them, Brittany was so distracted running that she didn't know there was a huge hole in the middle of the hallway and began falling right through it.)
Brittany: Ahhhhhhh!
