Turns out there really WAS some treasure...

It's lucky all we've had to deal with recently have been stardard uneventful waves of monsters, this cave is taking ages to finish. This should be it now though.





So, everyone wakes up in the cave, and we notice that the strangely marked starters and the shadowy figure have gone, along with a big chunk of all our memories.


'Well, I think that settles it. I'm pretty sure we just met...but did we? I could have sworn someone was here....'


'What are on about T?'


'I......don't know'


Of course, thanks to Porygon, we've worked out that the Palkia shard had weakened the wipe's effect on me, so I had some very vague recollections, but we had no idea at the time, so nobody knew what the hell I was on about.


'Bulbasaur's been fighting. What's going on? And who's this guy?'


'Yeah, my guys look like they've had a battle, and my leg really hurts. You ok Pichu?'


'chuuuuuu...'


'I am Blackmage, and I want my treasure!'


'Why am I surrounded by Clefairy? Oooh, I'm being hugged!'


'Where's Onix? His ball is empty...'


'Oooow, my head........'





Blackmage had sent out Scyther, and was getting to his feet as Scyther explored the back of the cave.I started to get up too, but found Blackmage and Metang looming over me.


'Nobody move until Scyther completes his search. Everybody just behave and stay still.'


'I want to stand up, and we have more of a right to be here! Why shouldn't we look for treasure too?'


'Because it's mine. Metang, Take down!'


'Rattata, Quick Attack!'


The two crashed into each other, bouncing off, Metang wobbling in the air and Ratta skidding to a halt. I scanned Metang with my DSDex and grimaced. 'We need to hit hard Rattata, before he has a chance to pull out a big move, he's a few levels higher. Super Fang!'


'Ratta!'


Rattata leapt, and his fangs started to glow, and became huge, striking Metang on the head.


'No! Metal Claw!'


Metang slashed upwards, catching Rattata in mid-air, catching him on the cheek. He winced, landing on the floor snarling.


'oooh, bad move, you've angered him. You doing ok?'


'Raaa!'


'Alrighty then. Use quick attack to get on top of Metang!'


Rattat shot off a streak of purple rage. Dodging Metang's furious swipes, he sped up one an arm, coming to a stop in the middle of Metang's flat top.'


'Finish this. Flame wheel!'


Just like on Flareon's back, Rattata used his Flame Wheel like a Hamster wheel, not moving from his spot as he ran, fire enveloping him, being pounded into Metang, who started to quiver, squirming as he tried to swat Rattata off. Blackmage looked furious.


'Stop that! I don't know how, but I'm pretty sure that's cheating!'


The flame started to die down but Rattata just started up again, a look of glee on his face.


'Yeah, he doesn't like it when people manage to hit him. And you hurt Butterfree, he's mad about that too.'


Scyther suddenly let out a cry, holding up a lump of rock with something embedded in it.


'Aha! The fossil is mine! You lose!'


'Oh, THAT'S what you were looking for? I thought you meant gold or something. That looks damaged.'


'It's an entirely new fossil! Who knows what it might become!'


'It looks like a Dome fossil with a bit missing...'


'Well it isn't! It's entirely new!'


We were interrupted by Metang. Fainting. Rattata leapt off, gave a smug nod, and climbed up to my shoulder.


'Damn you! You will pay for this! All of you! Snorunt use Flash!'


By the time we were done blinking rapidly and everything came back into focus, he was gone, although we could hear footsteps hurriedly receding down one of the tunnels.


We all looked at each other, unsure what to say. Well, Doom had afew words to say, but I won't repeat them. Or what Rag called him.





After that, we the Onix staircase up to the surface, and Kirlia took us home.





Oh yeah, the Clefairy that was hugging Sammy has come with her. Welcome to the team!
