A Simple Task [Fini]

[Caramell 🍬]

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: ON | Location: Union Cave (Previously on…) Chaotic and messy. If the young lady had to try and sum up his life in two words, then Zaiden would have to pick those two. When he first began his journey, Zaiden had erroneously thought that it would be one simple path after the other, slowly carrying up through treacherous lands and momentous GYM battles, to help land him in the driver’s seat of the Johto league. However, life didn’t always turn out the way we planned, and more often than not Zaiden found himself wondering back and forth from one direction to the next. Now the mousy-brown haired lad had worked his way back up through New Bark town and the accompanying routes, through Violet city once more, and past Route 32 to arrive at the entrance to Union Cave. He had stopped by to listen to a very noisy old man tell him all about the wondrous Pokecenter and Pokemart that Zaiden was already well aware of in Cherrygrove temporarily, ended up crashing in a local hotel, then working his way back to Violet city where he stopped to stock up on a few odds and ends to help him with his current goal. Someone whispered to Zaiden that there was a pretty strong dual bug-and-water types, whose combined types helped shield the Pokemon from weaknesses that one or the other may have had and made a wonderful Pokemon companion. This forced the taller than average teenager to work his way back the way he came, shelving his previous interest of hitting up the routes along the way for all of the Pokemon encounters that he could hope to carefully shake out of the tall grasses and forested areas for another day. In truth, traveling from city to city wasn’t exactly the easiest thing on its own – whether its visiting for the first time or retracing your steps – and had required Zaiden t work out sleeping arrangements along the way. Still, all of this had brought him here – facing off to the entrance of a dank, but at least semi-lit, cave. A string of lights illuminated the entrance and the basically carved path meant that hiking through the cave’s interiors and carefully traversing around the tall stalagmite pillars would be a bit easier on the lad overall. He would still have to carefully wonder through the cave, however, as there were still inherent risks associated with stuffing yourself inside the belly of the earth itself. Baunsu nosed the entrance carefully first, his large, dark brown rabbit ears folded worriedly against his head. Two paws stepped over the threshold and thrust the upper half of the timid Pokemon inside of its depths, though he would immediately pull himself back out. “Where is…everyone?” He had been at the lab for quite some time and saw his friends join him then leave as the young lad switched around his team periodically. Shiwa remained, but the other Pokemon were strange and unlike anything that the timid rabbit was used to. “Zaiden’s not keeping the original group together.” the sweet and caring, spiky cocoon commented. She would shoot long spikes out of her body to help push herself up and over the threshold of the cave as she hopped along with little complaint. Baunsu scurried off after her, pausing every couple of seconds to listen around carefully for the first sign of danger so that he could bolt in the other direction. The bright green grass lizard pushed his way past Zaiden and the other Pokemon as he strolled inside of the cave bravely. “What are we scared for?” He commented almost matter-of-factly. “If we’re careful and work as a team, we’ll all be fine. Do you not trust your trainer to make the best choice in a given situation?” “I was given away by my dying friend.” Promise spoke softly as she scurried after the group. Zaiden followed his Pokemon quietly, his eyes carefully observing the foreign surrounding as he entered the cave. “I want to have hope that everything will be ok. Kent used to always tell me how nothing would hold us back, until he had to face reality…” The black larva's words trickled off into inner, quiet thoughts as she spoke to herself. The small green bird with bright yellow, red, and black wings hopped along the ground as it flapped its short wings that seemed almost too small to lift the bird into the air. She was traded away as well and assumed that this was just her lot in life. She wasn’t the coolest nor the shiniest Pokemon out there, so whenever her trainer got tired of her they could easily find someone willing enough to swap her for something else. Yuki, the light brown furry pig with dark brown stripes, followed carefully after everyone as her eyes widened over the large and imposing rocky formations inside of Union Cave. She envisions scary Golems, haunting Mawiles, and daring Golbats pelting them and chasing them throughout the semi-lit tunnel at every turn, beckoning them to leave or become wild Pokemon food… Well…Zaiden sure did like making his job harder and harder on himself, didn’t he?

As they walked through the rather well-lit cave, they only saw a shadow of a wing flapping in the distance or heard a faint rumbling from below ground pokemon who didn't show themselves, so all in all it was a rather peaceful walk.
That is until an aron who had been busy munching on some rocks leaped at them and accusingly pointed at the rock they stood on, which looked exactly like all other rock in here, but apparently that particular spot had the most tasty rock in the whole tunnel and the aron didn't like they stood on its dinner.

Aron [lvl 10] Is angry you are standing in its food!

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: ON | Location: Union Cave The darkness of the cave battled the unnatural lights that were strung up along its walls. Long, black shadows cloaked over the ground in odd formations, broken up in weird patterns thanks to the string of lights. They were like a guide through Union Cave, denoting the way to other side as they ever so slowly crept forward across its rugged interior. The shadows seemed to swoosh and dance in the fading lights, in part thanks to the shadows of Zaiden and his crew as they gradually traversed through the cave. Large, rocky formations swelled up along their paths, causing them to turn this way and that, pushing and prodding themselves through narrow passages and up steep, rocky sides, to scurry over the other side safely. Just because Union Cave had a traveling path, did not mean it was a breeze for everyone to traverse. This was most likely why cave guides often offered their services to would-be travelers, helping them navigate their ways through the safest parts of the maze. Some rocks were not as sturdy as others. As Zaiden slowly pulled himself up on a large oddly-curved boulder reminiscent of a badly beaten up stop sign, it shivered and shook underneath his weight. When another member of his team joined him, it wiggled unsteadily back and forth. As each of Zaiden’s team slowly made it up onto the large, rocky surface, the smaller rocks underneath shifted and rolled, causing the boulder to bend backwards and slide off. Zaiden and his crew slid off and fell back onto the rocky, dirt earth with loud groans and gasps. Zaiden checked his Pokemon over carefully to ensure that each of them were safe, addressing and scrapes as he needed too, before having his team press on through Union Cave. The next boulder was perfect. It seemed as though it was built into the ground itself and offered stability as the mousy-brown haired lady pulled himself up. When his green lizard nimbly crawled up its side to stand beside him, it did not buckle. As furry brown pig scrambled and scraped from one spot to the next to find the easiest way up onto the boulder, it did not buckle. One by one, everyone would make it safely on top. Zaiden covered his hands over his eyes as if to try to view as far into the distance as possible and smiled. The cave’s exit seemed to be within eyesight, if not still several paces away. A strange, iron plated Pokemon with a large spike jutting out of its back approached them. It seemed upset, though Zaiden’s eyes were captivated on its uniqueness. Was this a truly rare Pokemon he had stumbled upon, or simply a normal inhabitance of the cave? If you were to ask the teenager, he had felt as though he had stepped on a hidden gold mine and had won the jackpot to a lottery he didn’t even know he had entered! The light grey plated Pokemon with small black holes decorating its armor and a dark grey underbelly used one of its light grey arms to point towards the boulder that Zaiden and his team seemed to be standing on accusingly. Shiwa was the quickest to react, though terrified in her own right. She rushed out in front of Zaiden, wanting desperately to defend her trainer as she wedged herself between the Aron and Zaiden. “We only want to continue on our way out of the cave. You can have your rock back in one second, ok? We don’t have to fight.” The pinkish-white cocoon spoke up and tried to reason with the Aron. Yamori stood apprehensively and tense as Zaiden’s side as he kept his head craned up to view his trainer. Would Zaiden realize the match up and choose to send on of them in, instead? Yamori was more than willing to battle this Pokemon and show Zaiden his worth as a team member. Instead, the young lad pulled out a bright blue ball with bright yellow stripes. With a click of a button, Zaiden would toss the Quick Ball at the Aron, hoping to catch it before it could try to run away in haste. OOC: Shiwa sent out and then Zaiden uses Quick Ball.

SUCCESS!

With a bit of a tumble, the lightning streaked ball rattled against the dusted rocky pathway as Aron fought against the confines of the surprise toss. It wasn't unlike nails against a chalkboard but at least it only lasted a moment before the quick ball clicked shut and flashed a striking red.

Shiwa witnessed the event and grew to LV 11!

WHAT'S THIS!?!

She's trying to evolve: allow it?
If so she will try to learn Gust; forget an old move?

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: ON | Location: Union Cave The soft pink cocoon was surprised by her trainer’s quick demeanor to whip out a Pokeball and toss it at the Aron. With just a bit of a struggle, the newfound Pokemon had been caught. She used the spikes that protruded from her cocooned structure to bounce up and down so that she could turn around and stare up at her new trainer with a confused and curious look. Her head titled, eyes adjusting on the mousy brown-haired teenager, though part of her was pleased that she did not have to duke it out with the rough-and-tumble looking steel type Pokemon. Zaiden walked over to the Pokeball and pick it up. He stared at it quietly for a second before a bright beam of light zapped it to another plane of existence, whisking the Aron away to Professor Elm’s laboratory. Now he needed to only take the time out in his travels to work closely with the Aron, so that he could help it level up - slowly but surely - and become a powerful and imposing force on his team. A soft smile stuck to the corners of his face as he considered his new partner and the weight of what that meant. Lately, he felt like he was constantly switching Pokemon around and changing up the dynamics of his team to help the other Pokemon level up and evolve. Is this what being a Pokemon trainer was all about? A bright light swelled around the pink bug Pokemon. Shiwa began to bask in its warmth as her cocoon began to feel restrictive and tight. The Pokemon inside of the shell kicked and crawled from the inside, moving around underneath the thin skin so that you could just barely see it when the glow died down. A small tear formed on the topmost layer of the shell and began to rip through the shell of the Cascoon. Zaiden freaked out temporarily, wondering if the rocky terrain had somehow caused damage to his Pokemon. Immediately, he reached inside of his bag and began fumbling around for some type of healing herb or potion. The medium sized moth crawled out from the split in its cocooned shell. The purple Pokemon peered up with her strange yellow eyes that bore three pupils inside of them and studied her team members curiously. She slowly unfolded her curled up wings and began to flap them about a few times as she dried them out in the arid air and tested them. Zaiden gasped as he turned around with a small purple bottle in hand. His grip loosened in the midst of his shock and the bottle fell, hitting the lad in the foot and causing him to swear just underneath his breath. “Shiwa...amazing.” The words tumbled from his mouth oddly, as he fumbled about for the right words to say. The Poison Moth hopped up and down as she tried to fly and had to land back on the ground several times. After a moment, she would finally get the hang of it. She soared over to Zaiden and landed on his shoulders, brushing up against the lad’s neck. Zaiden then turned back to the objective at hand. With a nod to his team members, he pressed on through the cave. They climbed down off of the rock that they had been standing on and carefully but surely worked their way through the rest of the cave. Where possible, they would walk around stalagmites and squeeze through rocky formations that pinched a tightly squeeze hole between themselves. Eventually, the light at the end got brighter and brighter, until they were able to jump out of the rocky terrain and bask in the light of daylight on the other side. Now onto Azalea Town.

[div align="justify"] [font face="arial"] Guntai is a jovial and jolly Pokemon. He loves to enjoy his day with others, making sure that everyone is happy and healthy. In battles, Guntai can be serious when he needs to be, but prefers to takes things in stride. Guntai understands that losing can be the biggest lesson to learn in life, and always strives to bounce back from any obstacle so that he can learn and become better than he was before. The only thing that really upsets Guntai is when someone else steps on his food or blocks him from his roock – iron ores that help him become stronger.

Also Shiwa forgets Harden for Gust but I will be releasing her shortly I just wanted it noted for her Literature Lounge thread. x3
