(with xiroey, something approaches... what appears to be rainbow dash walks forward)
xiroey: "
rainbow dash? aren't you supposed to be dead from the overtake?"
(rainbow dash disappears as xiroey blinks... something strikes xiroey in the back and he goes unconscious...)
[XIROEY fainted!]
(rainbow dash gathers xiroey's body and takes it to a cave... a very dark cave, filled with green...)
???: "excellent... drop him."
(rainbow dash nods and throws xiroey onto the ground)
???: "his corruption is rapidly spreading... we must cure him now, before he is completely consumed!"
(a jagged, scraggly black horn drops to xiroey's face and emits a green glow. this seems to revert him to normal...)
???: "xiroey... wake up, you lazy ***..."
(xiroey wakes up to a peculiar sight... a buglike being in the shape of a pony with holes in her hooves, wings, hair, and horn... the changeling queen herself...)
queen chrysalis: "you're safe now, xiroey."
xiroey: "GAH!! (readies for combat) stand back, you succubus!"
queen chrysalis: "easy, latios. i mean you no harm."
xiroey: "yeah, just ****, she-witch!"
queen chrysalis: "xiroey, look at yourself."
(xiroey looks down to his hands)
xiroey: "...yeah, so?"
queen chrysalis: "when my drones brought you here, you were a shadow pokemon. you honestly don't remember a thing?"
xiroey: "...actually, no. nothing... what happened, then?"
queen chrysalis: "my drones saw a shadow gengar had dropped you off at kanto to cause havoc. while you'd slaughtered a trainer who had a couple wheezing with him, one of them reported to me. i told them to apprehend you by any means necessary, so one turned into rainbow dash to knock you out, and then dragged you here."
xiroey: "but... how'd you- ?"
(the same green glow that removed xiroey's shadow corruption emits from chrysalis's horn again)
queen chrysalis: "i have my methods..."
xiroey: "...well, thanks, i guess... i'm going off to find that gengar..."
queen chrysalis: "you can't defeat him yourself, you know... it's far too dangerous for a lone latios like yourself to go after a shadow pokemon like gengar..."
xiroey: "i think i can handle a couple greedy trainers-"
queen chrysalis: "oh, it's not just them. there's PLENTY of others who treat you like you've a bounty on your head the size of Seto Kaiba's ego... we've only been able to survive the antagonist army's patrol of smashboards through our undetected hiding out in these caverns... as far as you're concerned, this and the ozone layer are the only safe places left in smashboards."
xiroey: "hmm... i see your point... but i must find smashfan and the others, and take down the villains."
queen chrysalis: "we can help you with that."
xiroey: "i can't believe you're so insistent on... wait, seriously?"
queen chrysalis: "of course, xiroey. i'll even bring the entirety of the horde... but first, we'll need a favor from YOU..."
xiroey: "whatever it is, i'm ready..."
queen chrysalis: "some... THING... this monster spider has been depleting my changeling army in the past few weeks. if it's not stopped soon..."
xiroey: "...typical bugs, afraid of a little arachnid..."
queen chrysalis: "it's worse than that, xiroey. it tries to fool you into thinking it's something else..."
xiroey: "kind of like you, eh?"
queen chrysalis: "...NOT funny..."
(stomp!)
queen chrysalis: "GAH! it's back!! (ducks behind a rock formation)"
(all the changelings in the area hide)
xiroey: "...i've got a BAD feeling about this..."
(stomp! stomp! stomp!)
(and what approaches xiroey is... ...a little girl with a square head and green skin?)
xiroey: "...THIS is what the changelings are so afraid of? they must be overreacti-"
(ignore mario in the image below. just look at the girl... LOOK...)
xiroey: "aw, crap..."
