Jonathan Bradshaw - Bellossom
The Fountain Room

In here, we had five fountains, one eager Sunflora test subject who absolutely insisted on becoming something adorable, and a Treecko who was beginning to agree with me that Sonya was nuts. I was almost beginning to think she was getting addicted to the whole transforming thing. But then again, I wouldn't be too crazy being a Sunflora either.

In this room, the five fountains were all different styles, sizes, and the liquid they were spraying were all different colors. The rest of the room seemed to be in marble and concrete with a checkerboard-tiled floor of black and white. In any case, I was fine with being a Bellossom and had no interest in sipping that water. But Sonya just waddled her way right up to closest, medium-sized fountain with silver engravings and was spraying purple liquid, and starting drinking it.

While she was doing that, I mapped out the door behind me. The first was a strange locker room with doors of all sizes and colors, the second was an outdoor park with many polka-dots all over the place, third was the greenhouse we were just in, fourth was the art gallery I was in before, and fifth was the grape soda swimming pool I saw before.

  1. Rainbow Locker Room
  2. Polka-dot Park
  3. Mystical Greenhouse - The plants change you into grass-type Pokémon! See labels for details.
  4. Art Gallery - Nothing of interest here, mostly just weird art.
  5. Grape Soda Swimming Pool - WARNING: Do NOT drink from the pool! Changes people into sock puppets!


This was working out pretty well. Abusing the whole door cycle thing was letting me see rooms I had already seen before, and I could help anyone that came through here by writing out the notes on the walls.

As for Sonya, I just got the marker ready, all set to let everyone know what this fountain did. I saw her drink the purple liquid, and suddenly she was entirely coated with metal, but still a Sunflora. She stepped back in shock, clanging the floor with every step she took.

"No, no... this is just not good!" Sonya complained. "Let me try something else!"

"Is she always like this?" Tom asked me as she waddled off to the small fountain with the red liquid.

"You should have seen her at the food court," I sighed, knowing that was a real pain. "She had to try out everything and I just barely got her to be happy with Oshawott."

Well, she was still pretty helpful about being the guinea pig for all these weird things the Trick House did. She was certainly saving everyone else a whole lot of trouble.
