"UV-lit incursion"

A researcher of the Shadelands, this lizard had always hoped to find a way to get there himself. But, with no known way to tell where any portals to it are, he figured he was just going to have to get lucky... Then, the day came when he happened to meet an unusually friendly umbrakin that had taken to living on Earth despite the danger sunlight posed to them. Voicing his desire - and doing some convincing - the lizard managed to get the umbrakin willing to show him a way to the Shadelands at last!

Very well knowing what he was going to be getting himself into, the lizard got the strongest handheld UV light he could find, making sure it was waterproof since apparently the portal would be underwater, and let the umbrakin lead the way. The two dove into a lake, then a cave inside, where the lizard made sure to keep his light off so the portal wouldn't close. Soon, the umbrakin signaled that the two had arrived, and stayed behind as the lizard swam off, vanishing into the Shadelands.

The lizard shuddered a little as he felt strange, already noticing a significant difference from where he'd just been. As he turned on the light, strange worm-like creatures darted away from him, one that had been caught in it leaving a trail of dark fog of some kind. Behind him, he could see the portal he'd come in through, closing because of his light - thankfully much slower than on Earth, as his tail hadn't gone fully through. The lizard pulled his tail the rest of the way into the Shadelands, and the portal closed, leaving him with no easy way back. But, finally getting to see the place for himself was going to be worth the risk, and his UV flashlight would do a good job of keeping him safe. He started swimming to the surface of the lake he'd found himself in, ready to learn as much as he could.

squirtlerocks07 and I did an RP based on this.

S: a lizard researcher for the shadelands have always wanted to go travel to the shadelands themselves but have been unable to, that changes today as he happened to find a rather friendly umbrakin who was willing to take them to where the shadelands was themselves. After getting prepared the lizard decided to get a partner for this, who recently joined the research team for the place, and it was none other then me! The lizard was heading over to my house to tell me the news

L: The lizard knocks on your door, excited to get going as he's already brought a couple UV flashlights along. "Hey, Emilio! Got big news about the Shadelands!"

S: I was in the middle of a FaceTime call with Treecko, and when I heard the door knock I told him I had to go and I hung up before heading over to the door and opening it

"Oh hey! Its you, what are you doing here?"

I was surprised to see the lizard researcher I met when I first took the research job

L: "I've found a way we can finally get to the Shadelands, I met a friendly umbrakin that's willing to help us with that!"

S: "Huh?? You're kidding right? I thought those umbrakin creatures were all scary and mean, but I guess not! Well this is exciting!"

L: "Yeah, apparently this one's different! He hasn't said where exactly we need to go yet, but he did say that anything electronic we bring has to be waterproof, so I've gotten us a couple waterproof UV flashlights." He hands one to you.

S: I take the UV flashlight and put it in my pocket for now

"Waterproof? Uh oh, I dont like the sound of that... I hope it doesnt involve what I think it might involve. Anyways, I guess we can go see this friendly umbrakin then"

I shudder in fear at that thought of when he said it had to be waterproof, but I try my best to not think about it

L: "Maybe it'll just be raining where we end up or something. Anyway, he said to meet up at a lake nearby, so that's where we're heading first."

S: "Well... alright then"

a lake, that was already a bad sign for me, but regardless me and the lizard head over to the lake to meet up with the umbrakin

L: After a few minutes of walking, you and the lizard arrive, and the umbrakin is already there waiting. As it turns out... It's Nox! "Oh, Emilio! Didn't think I'd be seeing you here too!"

The lizard pauses, looking over at you. "Wait, you know them?"

S: "Ohh yeah, I forgot about Nox! Yeah I know him, I actually just met him not too long ago, I didn't realize the friendly one was you, how convenient, I didn't realize they were called umbrakins tho"

L: Lizard: "Man, I wish I'd known earlier..."

Nox: "Well, I guess you must be here to go to the Shadelands, right? Lately I've been sensing that there's a portal in an... Underwater cave in this lake..." He realizes you're definitely not going to take that news well.

S: "...you have...GOT to be kidding me! Why is everything have to be underwater?! Ughhh!!!! Great...justtt great! Why me..."

L: Lizard: "Uh oh, you're not a fan of water, are you?"

Nox: "He's definitely not... Sorry Emilio, but I don't know any other way to get to the Shadelands, it might be a long time before another portal opens anywhere near here."

S: "Whyyyy.... only on rare occasions do I actually enjoy being underwater, but most of the time, I'm terrifed of submerging..."

I wad clearly pretty sad about this, knowing this was the only way to ever get to the shadelands

L: Nox: "It's at least not that long of a swim to get to the portal, but where it goes will be underwater too... Maybe it'll only take a couple minutes of being underwater?"

Lizard: "That's still a fair bit of time..."

S: "I don't wanna be underwater at all... but I know I don't have a choice, which is why I always keep my swim goggles with me"

I reach into my pocket and pull out some goggles and put them over my eyes, still unsure about this

L: Lizard: "Good thing I brought some of my own just in case, this would've been rough without them." He puts on some goggles as well.

Nox: "I know exactly where to go, so we'll make this as quick as possible. Keep in mind though, don't turn on your lights until you're through, if there's any light around a portal it closes."

S: "Oh, ok then... but all im worried about is actually going down there, cause thats a challenge in its own..."

L: Lizard: "Well, at least you're not that scared about the Shadelands..."

Nox: "Hey, as soon as you're through and you surface on the other side, it's probably going to end up being worth it as long as you're careful!"

S: "I'm still a little nervous about the shadelands, but I wouldn't have joined this research team if I was fully afraid of it... but whyy underwater....ugh! I'm probably not gonna dive under...I can feel it, but I'm gonna try regardless"

I walk into the water, it at least felt nice but I still wasnt looking forward to this at all

L: Nox and the lizard start going in as well.

Lizard: "Hope this works, I really don't want to go it alone..."

Nox: "Yeah, it'll be a lot safer if it's both of you that go there."

S: "No guarantees I wont freak out, but ill try my best...for the team I guess"

they all swim on the surface for a bit until they are above the cave where the portal is

L: Nox: "Okay, it's directly below here. We should properly get ready just in case."

Lizard: "Right, gotta do everything we can to stay safe." He and Nox start breathing deeply.

S: "Oh boy..."

I tried my best to hide how scared I was for this, but I soon do some deep breathing too

L: After a little while when the lizard's fully ready, he holds his breath and dives. Nox stays up for the moment, unsure whether you're going to go down on the first try.

S: and of course, I don't dive under on the first try, I was shivering in fear as always when it comes to submerging, whimpering and whining too

L: The lizard surfaces after a moment. "I guess I probably should've seen that coming."

Nox: "This apparently tends to happen with him. We have to figure out a way to help him feel better..."

S: I sigh

"I'm sorry guys, I always end up like this... I get super nervous about diving underwater and all, I try to not let it get to me but it just always does"

my tail droops sadly as I tear up, hoping they will find some way to cheer me up and make me feel better about this

L: Nox: "Hey, relax, we'll come up with something."

Lizard: "Yeah, I'm sure there'll be some good way to help you calm down."

S: "I-i hope so... I still wanna see the shadelands and all that, but being underwater is getting in the way of that happening!"

L: Lizard: "To be honest, I'm not really a fan of water either, and I'm not even all that good at swimming... The sooner we get this part over with, the better."

Nox: "Hm... I'm not good at comforting people, but maybe we could try hugging for a little while?"

S: "Hugging always seems to work, but I don't know if I should hug you Nox with those sharp legs of yours..."

L: Nox: "Only the ends of them are sharp, and I'm getting good at not poking people with them, so it should be fine. Just be careful of the spikes on my back."

Lizard: "I think getting to hug an umbrakin would be pretty cool regardless!"

S: "Well, I guess ill give it a try then"

I come closer to Nox and I open my arms to him for a hug, I didnt wanna start it since i was worried I was gonna get poked

L: Nox carefully hugs you, making sure the points of his legs aren't touching you. "I think this is about right..."

S: I carefully wrap my own arms around Nox, being careful not to hit his spikes on his back

"Wow, so this is what its like to hug an umbrakin, admittingly it feels really nice..."

I slowly calm down from Nox's hug

L: Nox: "There's a decent chance I'm the best umbrakin for this, so I'm glad you like it."

Lizard: "Do you feel any better, Emilio?"

@ lolboy4

S: "Yeah...I feel a little bit better now after this hug...thanks so much Nox"

L: Nox lets go of you. "No problem. Now, how about we give this another shot?"

Lizard: "Yeah, and I hope it'll go better this time."

S: "Still no guarantees but ill try my best, if I was with my treecko friend I would have been underwater already, its different if he's around, he gets me submerged pretty quickly"

L: Nox: "I don't know if he'd even want to come along for this..."

Lizard: "At least you'll be able to tell him about this once it's done."

S: "True, but if I was gonna be here I bet he would come with us, but lets not worry about that... lets just...try this again"

I start deeply breathing again

L: Nox: "Yep, one more shot..." He and the lizard join in on the deep breathing.

S: eventually everyone seemed ready to go

"Ok...um, lets do this thing..."

L: Lizard: "Time to get this done with..." He holds his breath and dives. Like before, Nox stays up for the moment to make sure you dive too.

S: after some more hestation, I finally took a deep breath and held it before diving underwater too, pinching my nose shut

L: Nox smiles, and dives down to join you and the lizard. He swims down to take the lead, heading for the cave's entrance, and the lizard follows him.

S: I follow close behind, whining a little as we go deeper since I didn't like being so far from the surface, even tho we just started

L: Thankfully the cave entrance isn't all that deep, and Nox and the lizard head inside. The lizard goes to turn on his flashlight, but remembers he shouldn't, leaving it alone.

S: I thankfully didnt turn on my own since I knew what would happened if I did, I was too busy on holding my breath to do that anyways, whimpering a bit loudly as bubbles escape me while I was following them in

L: Gradually, the light from outside is fading, the cave soon in almost complete darkness.

Nox: "Thble poblrtabl's jublst pablst whblere iblt gobles pibltch blablck."

Lizard: "Mhm..." He nods, seeming a bit nervous from the darkness.

S: I was just as if not more nervous about the darkness, but as the cave gets close to being pitch black i was starting to get really scared again, I didn't wanna go into complete darkness. So with a loud whine I back up and start swimming back to the entrance of the cave, too terrifed to go any further into the blackness

L: After realizing you've gone, Nox and the lizard follow you back, a bit disappointed.

Nox: "Coblme obln, yoblu weblre alblmosblt thblere!"

S: "I-iblts tbloo dblark fblor my liblking!!! I'm scblared!"

I was shivering in fear as my face turns red already

L: The lizard holds your hand. "Itbl'll ble fiblne, Noblx wibll stblill ble able tblo seble anbld leblad ubls!" He's blushing a little bit.

Nox nods. "Ibl cabln seble ibln tobltal dablrknbless, I'lbl hblelp yoblu twblo alblong."

S: "I hblate cavbles...but ivble alreblady comble so fblar...gbluess I gblotta jblust dblo iblt"

I trusted that the lizard will hold my hand the whole time so I wouldn't be all alone in going into the blackness

L: The lizard keeps holding your hand as he starts going back deeper into the cave again, bringing you along.

Nox returns to being in front to help guide the way.

S: I grunt in strain as my air gets lower and lower, covering my mouth with my free hand as I hoped this would be over soon enough

L: Soon, the group returns to where the light entirely stops, all that's visible being a slight glow from Nox's eyes, not enough to see by.

Nox: "Keblep gobling stblraiblght frblom hblere anbld yoblu'll geblt tblo thble Shbladeblandbls. Ibl'm noblt coblminblg wiblth yoblu, Ibl dobl't wablnt tblo seble iblt agblain."

S: "Wblell, thblanks agblain...Noblx... appblreciate yblou dbloing thblis... gbluess thblis is iblt..."

me and the lizard continue swimming straight, hoping it won't be long till they actually get to the shadelands somehow

L: After another couple seconds of swimming, you and the lizard both feel as if you're somehow being moved in an impossible direction, followed by the water becoming noticeably colder.

Lizard: "...Ibl thblink webl're thblroublgh..."

S: I shiver as the waters grew colder, then I happen to notice that the waters were purple, immediately I pull out my UV flashlight and turn it on, grunting loudly in strain as my face turns a little blue now, really needing to breathe

"Gblood, bublt noblw I nbleed ablir! Babldly!"

L: "Sbl-sablme hblere!" With a fully red face, the lizard turns on his flashlight as well, starting to swim up toward the surface and hoping he and you aren't too deep.

S: the purple waters didnt seem terribly deep where we were both at, but it does go a lot deeper further out, it didnt take long before the two of us finally surface safely and gasp for air, now actually getting a good look at the shadelands and all that

"Hah...hah...well, at least we weren't far under, I guess...we're actually here at the shadelands...whoa"

L: The lizard is panting a little as he looks around, smiling. "I can't believe I'm finally here, after so long... I've always wanted to see this place!"

S: I finally smile too

"Yeah this is pretty cool, I think i saw the waters here go much deeper then they were, so maybe theres more stuff to explore down there, but... I don't know if I wanna do that..."

L: "Neither do I, I want to just look around on land for a while. Probably safer than the water anyway." The lizard starts swimming toward the shore.

S: "Good point, lets do that"

I start to swim for shore too, and once we reach land we can finally begin our exploration around the shadelands, although I was wondering how you were supposed to go back home...but ill worry about that later

L: The lizard happily takes a look around, though is certainly still cautious, since he's pretty familiar with how dangerous the Shadelands can often be.

S: I take a look around myself, and it looked really cool, but I was of course cautious as well, but I knew the trip here was worth it for the most part, and we had our UV flashlights for protection

L: After a while, both you and the lizard figure it's about time to leave.

"Okay, let's start looking for a way out. We need to find a really bright area, there'll be a portal back to Earth at the center of it."

S: "Alright then... this is has been fun despite the start of this, glad we were able to explore some of the shadelands, can't wait to tell Treecko all about it when we get back!"

L: "I've really liked this too! Hopefully there'll eventually be a way to more easily get back here."

After some searching around, you and the lizard come to a different lake, with a light coming from the bottom of it. "Ah, here we are, this should work!"

S: "What?! No...you've gotta me kidding me right?" I look down and saw the light and shake my head

"So not only is it required to go underwater to get into the shadelands but its also required to go underwater to get out of it??? Ugh, I really hoping to not have to go underwater again today... guess thats not happening"

L: "Right, yeah, that's gonna be a problem... And there's nobody else around to help this time... Look, being back on Earth is gonna be way better than being here, I keep getting worried umbrakin are going to come after us."

S: "Me too... but why does it have to be underwater for real? Ugh... I guess we better just go for it and hope no umbrakin come to attack us"

with a heavy sigh i get into the water, already taking some deep breaths as I just wanna get this over with, i put back on my goggles too

L: The lizard gets in next to you, getting his goggles on and deeply breathing as well. "At least we've still got our flashlights just in case."

S: "I know, but I'm still nervous about diving in general..."

we deeply breathe for a while until we hopefully seemed like we were readu

L: "Okay, hope this works... 3, 2, 1, go." The lizard holds his breath and dives.

S: I hesitated again for a while, but not wanting anything bad to happen, I held my own breath and dove underwater, pinching my nose shut as I whimper nervously

L: Giving you a smile to try to reassure you, the lizard holds your hand as he starts swimming down toward the light with you.

S: I try my best to stay strong, it was hard, especially since the waters are colder and this lake looked pretty deep, but with the lizard holding my hand i felt better as we swim down deeper and deeper

L: As the descent continues, there's some movement nearby... A large aquatic umbrakin of some kind has taken notice of you and the lizard, and is starting to swim closer! The lizard hasn't noticed just yet, continuing to swim down.

S: but I just so happened to turn around to see them and immediately get frightened

"U-uhblhhh, dublde! Dublde! Donblt frbleak oublt bublt, therbles an umbblrakin combling ablfter ubls! Ahhhhbl!!!!"

L: The lizard turns to look, and quickly gets scared as well. "Obl-oblh jeblez!" He quickly shines the UV flashlight at it, and it growls and covers its eyes, but keeps coming.

"Itbl's onble oblf thble onbles thblat cabln reblsisblt UV liblght! Wble hblave tblo hblurrbly, iblt wobln't fobllow ubls tblo Eablrth!" He speeds up his swimming while keeping the light on the umbrakin.

S: I shine my own UV flashlight at it too to hopefully give it double the power as i speed up swimming too

"Hblurry! Hblurry!!!"

I hoped and prayed that we would make it to the light before its too late

L: The extra flashlight does seem to be slowing it down, but not much. The lake's light is gradually getting closer, as is the umbrakin, and the lizard is starting to panic and bubble out quite a bit of air, frantically swimming...

And just in time, you and the lizard reach the center of the light in the lake, the water around suddenly being the familiar blue again as you've returned to Earth.

S: I was quite panicked as well as a lot of air escaped me too, but once we were finally back to earth again I quickly calm down, then I immediately swim for the surface as my face turns almost fully red

L: The lizard is hugely relieved to have gotten away from the umbrakin, which has thankfully stayed behind like he expected. He bolts for the surface as well, having an entirely red face himself.

S: thankfully before too much longer the two of them finally surface and I gasp heavily for air, so relieved everything was ok

"Hah...hah...hah...phew, that was a close one! At least we made it back up, now get me outta the water!"

I immediately swam for shore, not even hesitating

L: The lizard follows you as he pants. "N-never seen an umbrakin like that... A-and I don't think I want to again..."

S: "Me neither... that was seriously rough...I hope we don't see another one like that again"

pretty soon, we both get to shore and i take my goggles off one last time and put my regular glasses on

"Well, this was an adventure, but honestly I had fun for the most part, glad I'm on the research team, but now I'm gonna head to my buddy treecko's house and tell him all about what happened"

L: "Alright, sounds good to me." The lizard takes his goggles off as well. "I definitely need a little while to relax after that... Then I'll see if Nox is willing to give some more information about the Shadelands himself, I haven't gotten much chance to learn from him."

S: "Right yeah, but hey thanks for the adventure, ill see you around alright?"

I wave goodbye and give one more hug to the lizard before walking off, eager to tell Treecko what I discovered
