Yolei exclaimed. "It's a dark-type!" > >"Tyrannitaur, attack!" the Masked Rocket commanded. The beast roared upon hearing the command, quickly moving to do as told. Someone else moved quicker than it, however. "Take a nap, gruesome." Drake contemptuously commanded. The Dragonite?s eyes glowed briefly before he fired twin beams of multi-colored energy into the Tyranitar?s chest. It staggered against the awesome power of the blow, grasping its chest in pain, but it didn?t fall unconscious. Before, the Tyranitar was just going to try plowing through everyone, but it had a target now. It made a booming "Tar!" as it stomped a foot, causing several boulders to dislodge from the ceiling and smash into Drake, knocking him down beneath the crushing weight. "Oh, I forgot!" Yolei shouted over the din "Tyranitar is also a Rock-type. Normal attacks like Hyper Beam do less damage to it. They also become a Tyranitar at about the same level as a Dragonite evolves, so they?re pretty powerful." During Yolei?s dissertation, Lynkeru had put away her swords in favor of a slingshot and Deku Nut. She loosed the shot and it hit right between the rocky monster?s eyes. It exploded on contact, releasing a blinding flash. "Tar!" the Dark pokemon shook it?s head in an attempt to rid itself off the nuisance that had been visited upon it. It stomped it?s foot again, but the spots still appearing before it?s eyes caused it to miss it?s mark and the boulders that fell from the ceiling missed the Dragon pokemon. "It must have been what I Mimiced the Rock Slide from then." Drake painfully pushed aside the boulders that had hit him. "Does anyone have a pokemon with Surf?" The others were surprised when Mamoru?s voice came up from below. "Yeah, hold on a sec!" In the meantime, the Tyranitar had been hit in the face by another Deku nut. It continued to ignore the lights dancing in front of its eyes and stomped the ground again. The rocks falling from the ceiling almost smashed on target, but freed from the first attack, Drake dived out of the way. The sound of a pokeball popping open was followed by a cry of "Lapras!". "It doesn?t matter." The Masked Rocket laughed imperiously "No would-be champion?s low-level Lapras is going to be strong enough to take out my Tyranitar!" "Maybe not," Drake shot back from his prone position "but I?m not a Lapras and I?m not low-level. Everyone, get down!" As the Dragonite leveled an arm at the Tyranitar, the ground rumbled. Yolei, Lynkeru, and Memuyo flattened against the floor of the cave. The Masked Rocket gave a wide-eyed "Huh?" as a geyser of water came up through the hole that Yuki had fallen through previously. The Rocket picked up on what was about to happen fast enough to hit the ground as the water that was hitting the ceiling shifted direction and came shooting through the tunnel like the ocean had just been drained into the cavern. The Dark pokemon had been about to stomp out another attack, but looked up just in time to see a wall of one of the deadliest substances it knew coming straight for it. It could only squeak in fear before it was engulfed. When the wash had cleared, everyone was drenched. They all rose to their feet, save one. A certain nameless Tyranitar now lay unconscious. The sharp, rocky edges of it hide were worn smooth. Upon sighting this, a certain Rocket who concealed his identity produced yet another pokeball and popped it open to reveal an Alakazam. "You may have won this time, but nothing will stop me from becoming the greatest Rocket ever, least of all you!" Without another cliched word, The Masked Rocket and his Alakazam disappeared amidst a flash. "Yeah, right, wimp." Drake rumbled as he got up. He walked over to Lynkeru as she got up and looked down at her. After standing like that for a few seconds he muttered "Thanks." and walked over to check on Memuyo, who was howling up a storm over being so wet. Recognizing the pride from some people where she came from, Lynkeru only said "You?re welcome." Most of the water having missed her, Yolei recovered quickly enough and carefully made her way to the hole in the floor, shouting down. "Are you alright down there?" "We?re fine. I got Tide back in her pokeball before the water went up out of the pool, and Mera didn?t get wet either." As the others joined her, Yolei asked "We thought you had gone further into the tunnel down there. Why did you come back?" "I had stopped because of what I saw, so it was pretty easy to hear the rumbling and come back here." Mamoru answered. Yolei once again queried Mamoru "What did you see that caused you to stop? A dead end?" "It was a dead end, but I also found a puzzle." <TBC?> Jeff Hauser* *Sig Sold Seperately
