Chapter Text
The halls seemed endless. Abandoned but not empty. There was nothing in the air yet it felt like there was intense smoke that was begining to fill up Peter’s lungs. He was tired, his legs felt like jelly but he knew he must keep running before- Then he suddenly got grabbed by two lanky blue arms twisting themselves around his torso in a sickly manner. No matter what,Peter tried his best to squirm out of there but to no avail for it was too late as the creature opened its jaw revealing rows of teeth stained with hazel red blood and…..

SNAP.
Peter yelped a bit as he woke up from his day dream quickly looking around to see where he was. He had expected a cold, dark hallway or void. Rather, he was greeted by the sight of his older sister being cheered on for dethroning the Galar region champion and achieving the title for herself. One he remembered where he was, he quickly put on a smile. He sighed knowing to not let others catch on to the fact that he was sweating profoundly and was extremely terrified at the moment due to his little nightmarish escapade that he had endured seconds ago. And so like always he had to put a simple little smile on.

The signs were there yet I nor did anyone else notice.

The cheers from the crowd started to fade….at least for Peter. The goal he worked so hard to achieve aka becoming the Galar champion,the goal where he had to fight a friend when he didn’t want to,getting involved with a mess all due to being Ashely’s brother yet he couldn’t get the title instead his sister received it. He felt a slight sense of envy yet he was mostly proud because it was his sister who won. He clapped his hands for some time while he stared at the crowd lifting up his sister and carrying her in joy he felt the envy start to slightly fade away but still linger in the back of his mind wishing he could be cheered on instead.
Suddenly a letter hit the back of his head. He yelped in slight pain and flinched yet no one noticed so he sighed and picked it up only to notice something peculiar sticking out of it.

He rushed to reach home(which took some time due to Corviknight taxis being sold out for some time)and quickly went inside the attic of the house to find it. Soon he was able to find the VHS player and went down the stairs and plugged in the player into the outlet and inserted the tape into the recorder.
The screen turned blue signifying that the tape was working and soon it started. Then a man came on the screen and opened his mouth to speak
████████████████████████████████████
“You are about to see the most incredible doll ever invented. Her name is Poppy, and she is the first truly intelligent doll in the world”,The man in the tape said to the camera while sounding both calm and excited.
“ A little girl can talk to her, Poppy gives her answers. She is the first doll actually able to have a conversation with a child. Hard to believe? Just watch."
Then a commercial began to play for the aforementioned doll while Peter watched with intense gaze being intrigued by the doll, with the events that had transpired that day slowly seeping away from his mind as begins to feel a sense of familiarity and comfort from the doll.
“Oy Peter whatcha doing!”.
Peter then screams in shock, jumping upon hearing his friend surprisingly visit him.
“Hop what in the name of Arceus man like you know I'm very jumpy”, Peter scolded Hop as he turned his focus from the commercial to his childhood friend he had since he was 5.
“Yeesh sorry man but also what are you doing like you suddenly left when we were about to celebrate your sister’s win”.
Oh yeah right that,Peter thought to himself with his negative feelings trying to seep back in only for him to brush it off.
“Well I found this tape and I wanted to see what it was about so now Im going to get back to that”
“Alright then Peter just let me know if you want to come along for I will be waiting ok cya mate”
Then with that Hop left the house and Peter was alone again. He didn't like being alone much.However he still needed to see what the tape contained so he rewinded it back to the point he was watching it until he got interrupted and luckily no interruptions occurred again.
Then the tape glitched and showed a weird looking flower thing at the end before the tape turned off. Peter’s eyes moved in confusion at what he saw but then noticed the letter and realized he forgot that the tape came alongside it. Upon noticing the letter he picked it up from the tape and began to see its content and it said:
“EVERYONE THINKS THE STAFF DISSAPEARED 10 YEARS AGO. WER'E STILL HERE. FIND THE FLOWER”
Then Peter turned the tape on again until he showed where he had to go to find the flower and the staff….He rushed to his room and grabbed his bag filling it up with as many supplies as he could and before leaving he grabbed the letter and tape to not forget anything.

Soon he had made it to the city of Letropollis where it was. When he got there he started searching for the factory but luckily he didn't take very long. The Playtime co factory was much larger than he had anticipated. He realized that the place had been abandoned for quite some time due to the letter but he didn’t think the state of the factory would look so. There was a lot of mold starting to form on one of the walls, signs that had meant to appeal to everyone had either faded or lost words and the gates were opened clearly even if it could technically be considered private property. He took out the letter again and clutched the letter to his chest and went inside through the gate and entered the factory.

“Experiment 1006 it appears we have a visitor that has entered the factory”, the TV machine calls out to the entity in the darkness that was working on something.
The creature came out from the darkness and pointed its long spindly mechanical fingers to the screen and then a multitude of distorted voices started to get louder and louder as the figure got closer to the other creature.
“Who is it? Dr Sawyer?, the creature said while it came out of the shadows. His mechanical legs chirped and clinked against the metallic floor while the bells of his jester hat rang a bit”.
Dr Harley Sawyer then sighed and informed the Prototype that it was just someone they did not know.
“If it is not him then 1170 can deal with the outsider otherwise you know what to do”.
Then Dr Harley Sawyer rolled his eyes in annoyance and went away leaving The jester robot all alone as he went back to his lab. When he reached his lab he looked at the little toy that he had turned inside out, its organs all exposed for all to see. He looked at it and grabbed his scalpel.
“Outsider I look forward to seeing what you shall look like, wrongside OUT “
The Prototype then inserts the scalpel deep into the inside out toy causing it to scream in pain and anguish and it went into a deep permanent sleep after that while the Prototype began to form a laugh through distorted voices all culminating into one bone-chilling laugh that was contained sinister motivation inside of it as well. Meanwhile a bear-like toy that was hiding away heard everything and began to run to his hideout to not only not be killed but to form..a plan.
