(I woulda liked to explain Mamoru over the night (I don't think they still understand about him, and I don't think they'd forget, but eh...) I was gonna use Suicune as an on-going plot device of some sort (I never figured out quite how... I've already mentioned him once already) > The rest of the trip to Union Cave consisted of an argument between > Drake and Memuyo. The others could really only understand Drake, but > were able to gather that the conversation consisted of various > complaints from Memuyo about how long everyone took to get to the end of > the boardwalk. Drake's response was comprised of explaining what > happened and following it with threats of dunking the feline pokemon in > water if it continued to complain. After stopping by a pokecenter for lunch, the trio finally entered (or rather... reentered, Union Cave) "Ah, dark, damp, and dreary... Just the way I like it," said Yuki. "You a masochist slash Goth, Yuki?" asked Yolei. "Uh... No... Not really, but I like Dark Pokémon... does that count?" "So you ARE a Goth..." Yuki's eye twitched. "No... I'm not..." "But you said you like Dark Pokémon" "Yes... I *DID.* But that doesn't make me a Goth. UNDERSTOOD?" "OK... Whatever..." Memuyo started to say something again. "Yeah, both definately have a leadership complex..." They sighed. The ground rumbled, but as they were walking, the travelers failed to notice it. After a while, our intrepid adventurerers were nearing the exit to Azalea Town when suddenly, the ground trembled and the path in front of them erupted with rock... "Graaaah!" said the Onix that had popped up. "Uh... Drake? Do you have any idea what that guy's saying?" asked Yolei. "GRAAAAAAAH!" said the Onix once more. "He said 'GRAAAAAAH!'" "I meant in OUR language. Not his." "He said 'GRAAAAAAH!' I was already translating it." Memuyo mumbled something apparently along the lines of 'That's no good...' because Drake then retorted, "HEY! I'm trying to help! It's not MY fault that the Onix just says 'GRAAAAAAH!'" The Onix continued to GRAAAAAAH in its typical GRAAAAAAHing way. Which was generally like GRAAAAAAH, except when it drank some tea (preferrably with milk), when it simply GREHed. Right now, there wasn't any tea (and definately no milk)... Which was why it was mad. But no one knew THAT... "I think it wants to battle us," suggested Yolei. The Onix GRAAAAAAHed louder this time, annoyed that no one had any tea or milk, and that they were getting the wrong idea. "No, really?" said Yuki, with a sarcastic tone as she reached for her pokeballs. "You know, a Steelix would be a handy part of my collection. It might not be found in the wild, but an Onix is... I'm gonna catch it!" "No, I am!" Yolei shouted back. "We'll see who catches it first! Go Tide!" "Go Tallyhawk!" Out appeared a Staryu and a Pidgey. "Oh well, Garnet, you'll do," sighed Yuki. "OK Tallyhawk, use your Sand-Attack!" "Garnet! Over there's a pool or water! Then use your water gun!" Tallyhawk flapped his wings near the ground, creating a massive dust storm, obscuring the Onix's vision. Now the Onix was mad. <If the people aren't going to give me some tea and milk, I'll have to leave... Oh, I'll give them one last chance...> thought the Onix. "GRAAAAAAH!" Garnet stood there, defiant, ignoring Yuki. "Damn... Forgot that Garnet doesn't listen to me..." Yuki pulled Garnet back into its pokeball and sent out Tide, a Lapras. "OK Tide... Where your pokemon friend failed, you shall succeed! Over in that pond over there! Use Surf!" "Tallyhawk, use Sand-Attack once more and then use Gust..." Tallyhawk flapped his wings once more, blinding the Onix further. *SPLOOSH!* "Wait... Sand doesn't go 'SPLOOSH!'" said Yolei. She looked up to see a geyser of water hit the Onix. She then looked at the source. Yuki's Lapras. "I said I was getting it!" "No you're not! I want it!" The Onix, upset that the Lapras only gave him water instead of tea and milk turned away in a pompous fashion, preparing to walk away (as much as an Onix can walk) also in pompous fashion. Memuyo mumbled something else. Drake then responded. "It is strange how the Onix didn't even attack..." Lynkeru, staring at the monster turning away, said, "Indi, what is that thing?" "I'm sorry," replied Indi, "but you need to press the Z button for Z-targeting, and then I will give information on the creature targeted." "Well how do I press the Z-button for crying out loud?" "You say 'Z-button' of course..." Lynkeru sweatdropped. "You know, I'm going to have to give you a long talk about this button business tonight... Z-button." Indi zoomed over to the Onix, now beginning to retreat. "Onix: This pokémon is rock-hard and is a member of the Rock and Ground groups of Pokemon. It is currently at Level 7, and all it really wants is some tea and AAAAUUUUGH!" "Tea and aaaauuugh?" The Onix had just descended below the ground and taken Indi with it... "Indi? Indi!" Lynkeru rushed over to the Onix hole. "INDI! Indi's gone down the hole with that Onixamajig!" "That stupid Onix ran away!" shouted Yolei. "Hmm... This gives me an idea," said Yuki. "What?" "First one to find the Onix and Indi gets to keep the Onix." "Sounds good to me." "OK, let's go!" Memuyo and Drake sighed. "Leadership complex..." TBC? Pipian - P.S. I've got dibs on the Onix (as I told Tech) unless he or Continue writes something to the effect of neither getting the Onix, but for right now...
