Who was a lucky bastard, because Trooper blasted up from the ground under the Onix, driving it's horn into the ceiling. God bless Dig. Mr. Mime decided it was time for more payback, and confused the thing, which made him twist about and smack itself with it's tail. Gyarados moved to finish, as she grabbed it behind the head in her mouth and slammed it down on the floor, over and over. Luke took the opertunity, and his Pokéball rolled a bit, then stopped. Dernam took the silent time to investigate the hole that formed. The Onix had come down, then horizontally, to avoid a pool of water in the wall. A red flash catches Dernam's eye, and he hurls a spare ball at it. Dernam quickly reaches in to catch it before it hits bottom, and hold his Pokédex to it. <Staryu.> "Ack! That's a water type! I wanna water type!" "Yeah, right, Splash. I caught him, he's mine. Get something tradable, and we'll talk, M'kay?" Splash backs down and mumbles something about Lavender. All recall Pokémon. Dernam continues to search the hole, and bonks his head on something. Looking right, he sees to large, jutting rock structures, holding a glimmering object. 6, awakened by the commotion, crawls out of the warmth of Dernam's back-pack mounted sleeping bag, looks woth hopeful eyes at it. "No, 6, this...is Nidorino's." Dernam takes out the pickaxe he purchased in Cerulean, and hacks away at the rock-like extensions that hold the object in place. After several tense minutes, the rocks fall out of place, and the Moon Stone tumbles to the grounds. Dernam picks it up and holds it in the dim light. It....is odd. While most normal Moon Stone is grey-silver, and shines, this appears to be marbled, swirling, blending blu and grey, with more luster and sparkle. Well, Stone is Stone, andDernam places it in his backpack, for later. He investigates the rocks, too. Kabutops claws. Might as well.....he pockets them too. All are content and happy. <Elsewhere> Phil cringes in pain. "Ack! Someone is happy!" <Anyway...> Splash, Luke, and Dernam pack up from the latest endevour, wary of any approaching Onix. Gratefully, none come. 6 is ecspecially on edge. However, all is not right here. Splash thinks he hears stuff coming from the forest below Mt. Moon. Dernam and Luke concentrate on the voices that seem to eminate from ahead. The Eord brothers shush Splash, and force him to listen to the sounds ahead. Dernam nearly falls through a hole, apparently made by the rumbling of the Onix. Close call. Anywho..... The impending voices seemed hostile, and orders seemed to fly. The rag-tag trio, stealthily slinked along towards the further end, all being quite. Dernam handed his survival boot knife to Luke, and himself drew his new 9 mm(thank you, 6, thank YOU!), and Splash....felt left out. Dernam made him feel better by handing him a sai. Sure, he wouldn't know how to use it properly, but what the hell? A sudden turn of the corner revealed several Rockets (Derman thought these Rocket guys were getting REALLY annoying) surrounding an even raggeder looking bunch, including a guy that looked unconsious. All made ready their weapons, although Dernam doubted they would need them, and got Pokéballs ready. Luke with Trooper, Splash with Mr. Mime, and Dernam had Gyarados and Scyther. Apparently the Rockets were oblivious to them, although one of the surrounded, a girl, had eyes as wide as saucers. "It's go-time." DErnam said to himself. TBC?...... Ethan Einorn Sorry last time, Dryad, didn't see it, was tired and frustrated, got 20 minutes of work wiped out, etc. etc. Well, I'm here now, like it or not.
