#uncle bones

[architectofimagination]

So I dressed up a skeleton for Halloween (my neighbor gave me the dress) and he is now my Uncle Bones my long dead relative( like long lost, was funnier in my head)

Thought I would leave him out till December, but mother nature had other plans.

So now he comes inside to change for the seasons. Banished to the bathroom to dry.

I'm planning on dressing him up for every holiday. I love him.

As soon as he's through the portal, the first noticeable things are the extremely cold air and the scent of burning torches. In front of Red lies a colossal mound of various types of money and treasure, and countless podiums holding strange objects of all shapes and sizes. Uncle Bones casually walks around, looking at the artifacts, and occasionally inspecting one before putting it back. He seems pretty preoccupied with looking around, though... -💀

BAM!

Again falling right onto his butt making the landing a very uncomfortable one. His eyes shut tight and he rubs the afflicted area in an effort to make it stop hurting. His Pikachu landed straight onto his head. Helping him down so he could explore too, looking all around the new area. Boy was it chilly, definitely not the kind of place you'd be wearing a tank top and shorts.

Shivering a little he looks around at the different stuff that was stored there. Oddly they just had money lying about everywhere. That was pretty odd. Was this like a safe or something like that? There did seem to be treasure here too so it must have been a safe. He begins to look at the things, curiously reaching for an odd artifact before jumping up from seeing Uncle Bones. 

"U-Uncle Bones! I wasn't grabbing nothin'!"

Pikachu nods along with his trainer, Also trying to look innocent.

He wasn't going to steal anything, he wasn't Team Rocket, but just look at the stuff.

"Well, if ya need some rest, that gives me some time to prepare!" As he speaks, the skeleton produces a stunning diamond skull. "Just come get me if I'm not back by the time you're up! I should probably gear up a bit more, after all." And with that, the skeleton whispers a keyword into where the skull's ear would be, and suddwnly vanishes, leaving the skull glowing and floating mid-air, now a portal to another place... -💀

"Prepare...?" He blinks, his eyes still showing fatigue from being sleepy. Did he not have all he needed? Perhaps he was getting something so he wouldn't fall asleep when hit with sleep spore anymore. Either way, Red stares exhaustedly ahead, ready to fall asleep as soon as he was able to. 

His body practically fell like a log onto his pillow, he and Pika snoring away. Red was finally able to sleep well for the first time in months. After a few hours of restful slumber, Pikachu began to stir first, moving his tail on Red's nose as they both rested.

"Mgh...Pika you're gonna... make me sneeze. Stop." the man grumbled as he slightly moved his Pokémon's thunderbolt shaped tail from his face. However despite his protests, Pikachu still moved his tail ultimately making him bolt up with a huge "KAA-CHUUU!"

Pika was surprised and fell off the bed in a cocoon of blankets. His head popped out from the covers, his head tilting at the odd portal-like apparition in front of him. He blinks confused,  then turns to Red as if to ask if he saw it too. Fortunately for the electric mouse he did see. In fact from the look of his face he probably thought he was still dreaming. ".....I really need to lay off the spicy malasada before bed..." Nevertheless he gets up and stares quizzically at the crystal skull and the weird energy flowing from it. Uncle Bones DID tell him to go through it if he wasn't back when he wakes up, right? Well honestly Red was half asleep when he told him so really it shouldn't be his fault if he misheard him, also Red was ninety-nine percent sure this was a midnight malasada induced nightmare anyway.

"...well....only one way to make sure this is a dream. I guess I'll go into the portal. You can stay if you want, Pikachu. If I don't make it out, release all my Pokémon for me, okay?" Pikachu refused to do such a thing and remained by his side. Red couldn't help but smile, he really was a loyal friend. 

"We'll go on the count of three. One...two...THREE!"

And with that, he jumps into the portal, unknowing what lied in it's depths.

[1/2] The skeleton, after gladly accepting the hug, stretches and loosens his joints. "I came apart, huh? I was pretty messed up, and it's been a few thousand years since I last fell into a true Sleep... so it makes sense! I'm glad that you kept me safe though, kid. Thanks." After stretching, the skeleton lifts his hand to his face as it glows with renewed energy. "And.. Sorry for worrying ya, kid. I should've made it clearer just how much damage I had taken." -💀

"You... never had any rest?" Red's brown eyes were full of concern. What would happen if Red didn't sleep good enough or stayed awake for thousands of years? He didn't think he'd even survive. Still now that he thought about it, was Uncle Bones dead?

Well no one with their skeletal structure exposed could really be alive, but with all this weird magical stuff happening, he wasn't sure what to believe. But if he is... you know...kicked the bucket so to speak,  does that mean he's never actually rested his spirit?

Red was about to ask, but was sidetracked by him thanking him. The man rubbed the back of his head and smiled with a small laugh.

"Hey it's no problem! Oh heh shucks you're getting me all blushy. Of course I'm always here to help out a friend!" It seemed he was all ready and raring to go. Unfortunately it was late and Red was still tired. "Well I'm still a bit tired, but you're welcome to watch TV or something until morning. As soon as morning arrives and I get some breakfast, I'll love to get back on track!"

As the skeleton fully woke up, he realized that he was in a dark room- one he had never seen before, and more worrying, he had no idea how he managed to get there. Jumping to his feet, he scanned the room, noting that he must be in the same world as his last memories. As quietly as he could, the cautious skeleton slinks into the hallway- immediately relaxing when he sees Red. "Kid? Where am I? What happened?" -💀

It was still dark so it was very hard to make out what on earth this figure even was. A Pokémon? A spirit? The only light was coming through the window from the moon shining overhead. He glanced at his Pikachu who was cowering on his head.

"R-Relax Pikachu...m-maybe this is one of those...collective dreams..." Red stutters worriedly. He looks around for a flashlight since Pikachu didn't know flash anymore, stumbling over himself. That was when he heard a familiar voice. Amber eyes grew larger as Red walked into the room slowly. The man fumbled with the light switch before ultimately turning it on and illuminating the bedroom.

"Uncle Bones?" Red stares at him for a long while as if he couldn't believe his eyes. His friend had laid dormant for months and after days of worrying, he was right there back together. Without warning he hugged the skeleton happily. Sure it felt like hugging a pile of bones, literally, but he was so overjoyed he didn't care.

"You're back! I was worried sick! You just came undone and didn't move for days!" Red continues to hug, but then let's go so he doesn't make his friend fall apart again. "Ah, you're at the Hano Hotel. Blue and I stay here when we're not at work. So I guess you can call it our...uhh... what did Blue call it? A bachelor pad? Yeah that!"

[champofpallet]

As soon as Red speaks up, the ghostly figure turns in surprise! Its eyes are wide open, and while its face isn't recognizable, something about it feels familiar... but, after locking eyes for a moment, it vanishes, reappearing in the room with the bag of bones, after which the light vanishes and a faint rattling can be heard as a certain skeleton puts himself back together, very slowly. - 💀

This person... this person looked human at least and not a monster as he had thought it was before. Red studies his features trying to tell if they ever met before but no matter how hard he tries he just couldn't find anyone who looks anything like that ghostly figure before him. However...he wasn't scared...in fact quite the opposite. There was an odd sense of relief.

He gets up out of bed with Pikachu on his shoulder, carefully walking towards the spirit. 

"....uncle.... Uncle Bones?"

Why did he say that? The spirit before him obviously had skin so it couldn't be...well before he could ponder more the bones in his backpack started to put themselves together again. He slowly smiles and closes his eyes in relief.

His friend was okay.
