>>With seemingly nothing else to do, exit the room.

There doesn’t appear to be anything else of use or interest left in the room.
They slowly approach the door, examining it. There doesn’t seem to be a locking mechanism of any kind. They roughly shove at it. With an ear-piercing shriek, the door swings open on rusted hinges, sending ages of dust into the air.
Beyond the door is a hall. It is equally dark, and there doesn’t seem to be anything of interest here, either.
Until, in response to the door’s shriek, another, more feral shriek echoes down the corridor.
They temporarily glance back into the room, but curiosity wins out over fear and they begin to stride down the corridor, the clicks of their mechanical joints audible.
It is moments later when they meet their first living beings.
Two… strange creatures. The creatures look the same, or maybe it’s because they have never seen anything living before?
The creatures are quadrupedal, with long necks, and light blue scales. The creatures have big blue eyes, with multicolored frills. Those eyes are glaring at them.
They back up, uncertain.
One of the creatures lets out a growl.
What is this… feeling? Bubbling up in their core? No, not feeling.. Feelings?
It’s… panic. And… and almost eagerness, enthusiam? And it’s aggression, too…
It’s…
It feels like the creatures, the…
They know the name now.
The creatures are amaura.
And they can tell that the feral amaura want to fight.

Spoiler:

And so we enter our first battle.
Battling in PMD: Rent Spirits is done rather uniquely.
Each Pokemon has four moves, and two stats. Those stats are Life, and Aura.
Life is how much health each battler has. Most moves lower the opponent’s Life, but some moves restore your own. Aura is how you power your moves. The stronger the move, the more Aura it will drain.
Should Life fall to zero, the battler will fall unconscious. Their opponent can then leave them be, capture them, or attack again to kill them.
Should Aura fall to zero, the battler can Recharge to regain Life and Aura, use Life in order to fuel their moves, or end the battle.
There are six actions a battler can undertake while fighting.
The first is Fight, using a move. This is self-explanatory. Use a move in order to attack the opponent.
Recharge is the second action available to you. The battler takes a round to recover their Life and Aura, though they’re liable to be hit by a foe.
Item is similar to how it’s usually used. Use an Item in Lemura’s inventory on yourself or the foe.
Surrender is a tricky action. Should a battle seem to be entering dire straits, a battler may surrender to the foe. Be aware that not all foes may be willing to grant mercy.
Flee is also self-explanatory. Run away if it seems as though you cannot win or surrender. But remember, the foe may give chase!
The final action is Pass. Instead of using one of the aforementioned actions, you can wait the round out, or try talking a foe into surrendering themself.
Remember that type advantages and disadvantages are in play here.

To recap. That is Fight, Recharge, Item, Surrender, Flee, Pass.

Choose wisely.
Good luck.

[Noblejanobii]

They're rock/ice types which means ground, rock, water, and grass moves are super effective and steel and fighting moves are four times as effective.

So I say use flash cannon on Amaura 1.

They blink as they listen. Flash Cannon?

They raise up their left arm, watching as their fingers separate to reveal a small hole. They feel energy rush along their arm and swell, making it feel warm and tingly.

And suddenly a bright white flash of light expels itself from their arm and speeds towards the first amaura, slamming into its side.

Unknown used Flash Cannon on Amaura 1 for 36 damage!

The amaura skidded back, hissing agitatedly. Its compatriot regarded the small dinosaur, and then glared at their common enemy.

Sparks leapt from the second amaura, before erupting in a pulse, catching them and causing their body to feel heavy and rigid and slow.

Amaura 2 has used Thunder Wave on Unknown, Paralyzing them!

They tried moving their arm again, panicking when they can’t do it, but with effort they finally raise their arm, sparks frenetically leaping.

Encouraged by its ally’s attack, the first amaura rushed forward, letting out a shrieking roar, and leaped directly at its foe.

They felt a sudden wave of panic overtake their thoughts, and tried to throw themselves to the side in an attempt to dodge. However sparks caused their legs to seize up and they could not move as the amaura hurled itself directly at them, hitting them dead-on.

Amaura 1 has used Take Down on Unknown, for 27 damage!

The violence of the move caused them to fall backwards. They stared at their foes with wide eyes as pain burned in their body.

Spoiler:

It seems you’ve been paralyzed!
There are a variety of status effects that battlers can be afflicted with. Paralysis makes it difficult to Fight or Flee, as it constricts movement. If one attempts to use a move while Paralyzed, there’s a 25% chance that they won’t be able to.
Certain moves can cure Paralysis, as well as the items cheri berry and heal seed!
It’s still possible to use items unimpeded while Paralyzed…

Battle In Progress

You’ve got the one on the ropes, so let’s focus on the other for a moment. No kill like overkill, so let’s try a Fleur Cannon on Amaura 2!

On the verge of panicking they drag themselves away from the first amaura, backing up against a nearby wall. They were outnumbered, hurt, scared-- they wanted this over. They weren’t sure what Fleur Cannon did but maybe it might end it faster?

They raised up their left arm again, feeling energy rush and swell. A pink light gathered in their fingers, seeming to resemble a flower in bloom, before a radiant pink beam blasted from the center of the light, striking the second Amaura squarely in the chest.

The amaura was blasted into the other wall, sliding down to the floor. It did not get up.

Unknown used Fleur Cannon on Amaura 2 for 70 damage!

Amaura 2 has fainted.

They stared at the unconscious dinosaur before slowly letting out a relieved sigh. That was one down. Things were more even now, more manageable-- right?

They first amaura glared at them. They stared back, a sort of confident smile on their face.

The first amaura gave a little roar, and a stone fell from the ceiling, hitting them on the head.

Amaura 1 used Rock Throw on Unknown for 18 damage!

At first they flinch, because it hurt. But it didn’t hurt as much as the last attack… So it’s okay.

They think… They think they can win this?

Battle in Progress

Time to finish off that straggler with a sonic boom!

They raise their arm, gathering energy, only to gasp and shudder as jolts of electricity make their joints freeze up. They grimace, trying to summon the willpower to break through.

While they’re distracted, the amaura steps closer, letting out another roar. They gasp and lose focus as another stone smacks into them.

Amaura 1 used Rock Throw on Unknown for 18 damage!

They aimed their cannon once more, determined to end this. An ear-piercing explosion rent the corridor as a blast of pure sound was shot directly at the Amaura. It wailed, slumping to the ground.

Unknown used Sonic Boom on Amaura 1 for 14 damage!

Amaura 1 has fainted.

Unknown won the battle.

They felt pride flood through their core at their accomplishment. They’d managed to beaten two foes, it made them… happy.

They looked around. They hadn’t seemed to have dropped anything… There was really nothing else in the corridor. They hesitantly moved to the chamber at the other end of the corridor, trying to be as quiet as possible and failing. On occasion, sparks would cause their joints to suddenly freeze up, which they found to be annoying.

They glanced about the room. In the corner a seed and a weird sort of ball lay discarded… The only other thing of interested was a door, which seemed to have an engraving of some kind on it…

Unknown is feeling kind of giddy.

[Noblejanobii]

Let's go investigate that seed and weird ball.

They move towards the items lying on the ground, examining them.

The seed is small, smaller than the other two seeds. And those two seeds were kind of reddish in color… This one appears to be more golden?

The ball appears to be some kind of orb made of clear glass, tinted blue. There appears to be a faint light emanating from inside. They squinted at the light, before shaking the orb to see if it did anything.

…

...Absolutely nothing happened.

They frowned, depositing both items into the their satchel.

Strange Seed and Mysterious Orb have been added to Unknown’s inventory.

Unknown is curious about what this stuff is, and that door…

[Noblejanobii]

You should go inspect that door now.

You should go inspect that door now.

The engraving is… strange. There’s what appears to be a keypad of some sort. And engraved above it are what seem to be… letters?

They don’t recognize them at first… but finally it clicks. They recognize them.

They can read them.

In order to exit, state the Divine Clockwork Angel’s prophesied name.

The… Divine Clockwork Angel? What was that?

...Wait a second.

They glanced back down at their mechanical body.

Was that… them? Use the keypad to say their name to exit?

They… had a name?

They strained their thoughts, trying to remember what it was.


They… didn’t know it.

That was wrong, wasn’t it? They should know their own name!


The prospect of leaving, of seeing… Outside. Whatever outside was… It was tantalizing to them. They wanted it…

But they didn’t know!

Unknown is straining to remember…
