Extract: The book was placed in the pedestal as a robotic voice came from the machine ???: "Scarlet book detected, requesting shut down sequence..." The twins looked up at the machine, thankful that it's shut down would be easy. But the machine spoke again and their faces turned into ones of fear and frustration. ???: "Shut down request denied." ??: "It's up to you two now... Please defeat me..." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Art cover by me, not all art will be mine. all characters (expect for Ocs and custom Pokémon/fakemon) belong to game freak and Nintendo a story based off Pokémon scarlet and violet with my two Ocs. somewhat inspired by gravity falls.
