After the battles at Sprout Tower, Anton looks up the newly received TM. There are so many out there it is near impossible for almost anyone to keep track. At same time, due to his inventor tendencies, he always likes to examine new things he gets a hold of. This one is slightly different than the sunny day he acquired a way back but he chalks it up to being a different Pokemon type. Upon discovering who in his party could use this, he releases Clingly. One of the bigger notes about this move that it is useful in dark areas like caves and extended tunnels. The battle usage isn't the best unless used in the right circumstances.
"Okay, Clingly, come on out. I'm glad you enjoyed your little adventure away from us. You get to meet our newest member, Cinder."
Upon hearing her name, the newest addition comes around as Clingly appears out of her ball. Clingly looks down towards the cyndaquil and picks up the fire mouse. Clingly turns it in different angles to get a good look at her. Thankfully they are at the mouth of the cave so there is still enough light. Once the flaafy puts down the cyndaquil, Anton brings out the new TM and lets Clingly hold it.
"Go on, give it a little bit of a charge."
Not knowing what to expect from the TM but also remembering how much light Clingly can produce, Anton grabs Cinder and puts his back to Clingly. As expected, a bright light shown behind him with a sound of metal dropping. Anton turns around to see Clingly still glowing but not as bright as he suspected. He wonders if the light will fade so he tests it. Once he puts Cinder back down on the ground, he walks forward with the two Pokemon following him. In a few feet inside the cave, he notices Clingly being like a flashlight with the ball being the brightest. Within a couple more steps, he feels a couple of his other Pokeballs rolling around on his belt. Knowing by the heat of the balls Fire Tail and Flamer is wanting out. He taps the two balls and his other two fire types appear. Before him is his first Pokemon, Fire Tail and beside her is Flamer.
"Hey you two, I know you want to be out battling but we need to train up Cinder here. Clingly is only out to use the new move we got from the Elder Sage. This cave is called the Dark Cave and I've got a feeling it will live up to the name."
Fire Tail feeling a bit insulted pulls her tail around and points at it. She then looks over at Clingly and then back at her own tail. She drops her head in defeat.
"Look at it this way, Fire Tail, you and Flamer can continue to coach Cinder in her use of fire moves as well as keep us warm. I've got a feeling Strong Tooth is going to enjoy his nap for a bit unless we come across something where fire and electric moves don't do much."
Both Flamer and Fire Tail looks down at Cinder who looks up at both fire starters. The longing in Cinder's eyes to prove herself worthy of being part of the team softens both of their hearts. They put their respective hands on Cinder indicating they approve of her leading the way. Fire Tail and Flamer stands off on the left with Fire Tail on the far left. Clingly is up a couple of feet on Anton's right side while an excited Cinder is in front of the group. Anton is happy with the group he has even if he meant for only Clingly and Cinder to be out. He can't blame his other two fire starters as long as they help teach Cinder and be rear guard. Worst part is if they run into some sort of heat seeking Pokemon. As far as Anton knows there is no such Pokemon but at same time wouldn't surprise him such ability exists.

Luckily for Anton, no Pokemon seeking out heat would find them. With the combined light of Clingly's flashing electricity and Fire Tail's namesake, navigating the Dark Cave was easy enough for Anton and friends. Unfortunately, the light coming from the Fire specialist's little squad was likely to attract some other Pokemon to the young man. Up above, one of many Zubats were sleeping and enjoying the dark of the cave. This flock of bat-like Pokemon liked to stay either in the deeper or higher parts of the cave, away from the light of day that so often made them ill or disoriented them. However, their blissful rest was to be interrupted on this day. As Clingly's light approached deeper into the cave, several of the Zubats seemed to stir. Despite their lack of apparent eyes, it was clear that the bright light from the Electric-type's body had registered on their senses in some manner. The Zubat flock that called the roof of the cave and its stalactites their home dropped from the ceiling, flapping their wings and surging past Anton so that they could put some distance between themselves and the light source. Most of them ended up flying deeper into the cave, while more than a few of them sought out a new place to hide, in the hopes of returning to their nesting place upon the Trainer's leaving. However, one Zubat remained nearby, separating itself from the rest of its flock to cautiously approach the Trainer. It had been resting so well, and it wanted to go back to doing just that as soon as it could. This Trainer and his Pokemon were going to be in the way of it returning to sleep, so it had to do something. Unlike the rest of its skittish kind that tried to avoid contact with the humans who ventured into this cave in search of an advantage over Falkner, this bat had no intention of just letting them meander into its home as they pleased. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/zubat.png) Anton disturbed the rest of a Zubat (Level 10)!

The zubat startles Anton for a brief moment even though he should have known this cave would be full of them. One of the things he does remember from school is a list of some of the most common Pokemon out there especially in the Kanto\Jhoto region. Zubat is up there in the top five behind rattata, pidgey, and a couple of others. This one sort of reminds him of the battle with the TR grunt from route 29. It will be interesting to see if this one puts up a better fight.
"You are up, Cinder, and let us see the strength you got. Do you think you can do ember now with the experience from the sprout tower battles and watching Flamer use her fire moves?"
Cinder looks back at Anton first and then over to the other two fire starters.
>>You can do it, Cinder, all you have to do is build up the fire inside of you. Once you feel it, let it come up and then out.<< Fire Tail said to Cinder.
>>The first time might give you a bit of throat burn but it will go away quickly. Remember, we are made to spit out and use fire. That zubat has nothing to hit you with. It is possible that our trainer will catch that zubat for his girlfriend who is collecting flying types. If he does, this will be a short battle.<<
Cinder follows the instructions given by both of them. The fire first starts as a small spark which turns into a flicker. The flicker than grows into a flame which grows in size. Once Cinder couldn't hold it anymore, she brings it up her throat and then out her mouth towards the flying zubat. Cinder is amazed at the sight of her first ember flying towards an opponent. It is for this time that Cinder had trained against her opponents at the tower.
"Nice job, Cinder! That is a nice looking ember you sent the zubat's direction. Now, I will attempt to capture it with a Pokeball. Typically zubat isn't the most wanted Pokemon unless you are a flying or poison type collector like Selenia. I'm clueless on if she will use it but never hurts to have it just in case she does."
Anton tosses a normal Pokeball at the zubat after Cinder attacks hoping that the possible damage from the ember will be enough for an easy capture. After he tosses it, he feels his phone buzz. He is surprised to have signal in here but it is possible he is still close enough to the entrance for cell service to be working. He sees a text from Selenia making him smile. He then responds to her text.
"Hey cutie, yeah I got the cyndaquil. When you read this, I will have started the first battle with her. I named her Cinder. The sages taught me a few things about respect and not just about my favorite things but also about other things people care about. As for the pichu, I did have one already and I guess no harm having two. Right now I am in Dark Cave so not sure how good cell reception will be. I'm trying to catch a zubat for you now. I think there is another less common flying\psychic type in these caves. I'm looking for a particular Pokemon which is a steel type. As much as I love my fire and electric types, they don't exactly have best defense except Clingly. If I remember right, this steel type also has a move which can be bred into the charmander line so you may get Fire Tail and this steel type once I catch it and it knows the move. Once I am done here in Dark Cave, then I'll head to the IPF. Take care of yourself and let me know if you need any of my fire or electric types. You can use them as long as you let me know which ones. Anton."
With that, Anton sends the reply to Selenia. He has yet to come up with a real nickname for her and cutie was spurn of the moment.

The Zubat was confused as to how there were so many intruders in its home. It was rare for so many fire creatures to travel together like this, but it was especially unusual to come traipsing through this cave with some human in tow. But the Zubats couldn't afford to let them uproot the flock from their home, or risk them taking away their food. Zubats had been coming to this cave and flocking together for more years than the local Pokemon could count, they couldn't afford to let some outsiders to root them out like this. So what if the others were too skittish to protect what was theirs? This Zubat was clearly foolhardy, diving in for an upclose attack even as it saw and heard the Pokemon trying to pep-talk Cinder into releasing her first properly controlled flames. It just knew it had to get its teeth into the little fire-rat, and then it could start feasting. As the distance between them closed in, Cinder released her flames, striking the Zubat directly in its center-mass. But the Zubat pressed on through the flames, sinking its teeth into the shoulder of the echidna. Zubat began draining energy from the Cyndaquil, though the intense heat of the mouse's body and its own recent burn wounds made it difficult to properly drain as much as it could from the mouse. Not helping matters was the Poke Ball that came hurtling through the air, slamming into the burnt body of the Zubat and consuming it in a flash of light. The poke Ball cluttered to the ground beside Cinder, shaking violently as she was given a chance to catch her breath. Eventually, the ball stopped shaking and let out a simple 'click'. The Zubat was captured, and the fleeing flock had dispursed enough that Anton and his friends could continue deeper into the cave if they so desired. But first, the menagerie of Fire types and their Trainer could take a moment to celebrate their new friend's first proper victory. As they did so, Cinder began to shift uncomfortably, a faint glow taking over her. It was the early stages of an evolution, plain to see for anyone with even a modicum of training experience. If Anton so desired, his newest teammate could already achieve her second form after only a single battle. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/cyndaquil.png) Cinder won and gained +4 levels!

"That went quick and smooth for your first battle, Cinder. I think you did a nice job even with the zubat getting fangs into you. I'm fairly certain the move did almost nothing to you especially after your evolution. You are now the same height as Flamer and both of you still several inches shorter than Fire Tail. This is when you stand on your hind legs, of course. Now, with this capture, the zubat will be going to Selenia since she is more into the flying type. I be surprised she will use it unless it is for breeding purposes. Should we see what else we can find down in this cave?"
Anton looks at his new fire starter with gladness on his face. His smile is large and eyes are bright. He knew this cyndaquil and now quilava had potential in her when he first laid eyes on her at the tower. It also pleases him that his other two fire starter Pokemon are helping Cinder out instead of being jealous. It won't be too long before all three are at the same level if Anton keeps up on the training of Flamer and Cinder. Anton then proceeds walking further into the cave with his group around him. The Pokemon keep their same positions as they look around the cave trying to see all of the natural terrain and whatever Pokemon they can find.
>>That...that is what I was hoping for when I joined you all. I've already grown and same height as you, Flamer, when I stand up just as our trainer said. Thanks to both of you, Fire Tail and Flamer, for the guidance on my first ember. I have a feeling my next one will be just as strong if not stronger now with this new form. <<
>>Don't get too cocky, Cinder, even if you are my height I can still kick your tail in the literal sense. Unlike you and Fire Tail, I've got a second type now with fighting so I've got access to a few moves you two don't. I won't do anything to Fire Tail since she is more of a mother to me but no quarrels of reminding you where you are in the pecking order, Cinder.<<
A swift red paw swats Flamer in the back of the head which makes him turn to Fire Tail with an annoyed look. Fire Tail gave an equal if not a bit pissed look at Flamer.
>>What was that for? I said I wouldn't do anything to you out of respect of your position. I just wanted Cinder to know where she sits in pecking order of us fire starters. Do note I didn't say anything about our shining light bulb on the other end or our favorite purple speedster rat.<<
>>You need to be kinder to our newest member, Flamer. We need to show her love and guidance as well as full acceptance in this new family of hers. It is true she has a lot more to prove but so do you and I, Flamer. None of us are done growing yet if I know Anton well enough. He will see us grow to our full potential whatever that will be. Now, Cinder, Flamer did have a good point about remaining humble. We don't know what the next encounter will be. We know there will be more Pokemon but there could also be other trainers down here doing what we are.<<
Cinder looks back up at Fire Tail making Anton almost run into her but he stops a couple of steps before stepping on her. He has been listening to his Pokemon talk and even caught the whack by Fire Tail in the corner of his left eye. It looks like his initial Pokemon is doing most of the training at least with her fellow fire starters.
>>Thanks for the advice, again, Fire Tail. I'll try to be the best Pokemon I can be and prove to both of you I'm worth your time and effort.<<
>>I'm glad you three are getting along, for most part, but can we keep moving while we talk to each other? I almost stepped on you, Cinder. Good thing I have no intentions of being quiet in this cave unless we get to some parts which may not be stable.<<
All three fire starters look at Anton a little sheepishly and nod. The group continues again down the cave keeping eyes out for whatever comes their way.

They didn't have to very far before they reached a split in the tunnels, one turned to the left and the other to the right. There were some old smeared out markings on the openings from when other trainers had ventured through and had tried to make it easier for themselves to find their way back. There was no telling from the crosses and V's made on the wall, if it had worked, but the trainers must have had light when they had made them, clearly with whatever they had in possession at the time. One was clearly made of soot, and another might be lipstick? With how easy it was to get lost in Dark Cave, it made sense people tried to find ways to get back out again. The question was which way Anton and his pokemon would take? Before they would be able to make a decision, something came crawling down the right tunnel and blinked against all the light from the fire types. It gasped and looked worried as it tried to see what they were with eyes which were tuned to the eternal darkness. "What is it with all the light brought in here! It's not natural!" It protested as it shook its head, "first that purple thing that wanted to scare us all and now this?!" It waved its tail around demandingly. "Leave! Light belongs outside! Not in here, here is the peaceful darkness and we don't want you to come and stir things up! You have enough space outside, so stay there!"It was blocking the tunnel it had came from and it looked to be an stubborn one, set in its way from all the years it had spent inside the cave. Not that it would know what a day or a year was, as time seemed to not mean a lot in here when it was always the same no matter what the season or time of day it was outside. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/dunsparce.png) Dunsparce [Lv 9] doesn't like your light.

Anton pulls out his Pokedex to examine this fat worm looking creature. It doesn't look like what he would picture as a bug Pokemon. Upon reading the entry, he is surprised that it is considered a snake.
"Huh, I thought most snakes were thin and long instead of short and stubby. It doesn't look harmful or really strong. I'm not sure if Selenia would be interested in such a Pokemon. I am not sure if it would be worth fighting either even though this is first time coming across it."
Flamer looks up at Anton wondering if his trainer would actually do something. He then looks at Cinder who is sitting there waiting for an order. Impatience got the best of Flamer who walks up the worm snake thing kicking it twice for good measure to get it out of the way. If this Pokemon isn't of any interest to Anton than it really means little to Flamer. Before Flamer could turn around, he gets growled at. The voice doesn't surprise Flamer one bit.
>>Did the Pokemon do anything to you, Flamer? You didn't have permission or reason to kick it twice.<<
Flamer turns around with an irritated look back at Fire Tail. She has her arms across her chest like a disapproving mother.
>>Anton said he had no interest in it and the Pokemon is blocking our way. I agree with our trainer's assessment that the snake worm thing is weak. I'm not sure what he is looking for but it is obvious this thing was not one of the Pokemon he wants.<<
Cinder watches as the other two fire starters have an argument. He then walks over to the dunsparce to apologize.
>>I am sorry for my combuskin teammate. He can get rather hot headed at times. Don't take this wrong but it seems our trainer is looking for some other Pokemon. You can look at it this way, if you like it here you get to stay in this cave instead of being out in the sun.<<
Cinder looks back watching the other two swat at each other. She wonders what they were like before growing into their respective forms. She barely remembers Flamer when he was a torchic since that was the first time meeting at the base of the sprout tower. It doesn't take long for Anton to see his two Pokemon going at it. He tries to step in to stop the fighting only to get swatted in the back of the leg by Flamer and very close to between the legs in front by Fire Tail.
"Now you two, this is first time you have really acted up like this. What is up with you now? Is it the cave? Is either one of you feeling too cramped? I want to explore this cave and there are certain Pokemon I want to help balance out this team. As much as you all know how much I favor your type, I need someone who has good defense and can take the hits. This typically means someone from the rock, steel, or ground types which none of you are or will become. IF and hopefully when we come across one of those, we will catch it. The rest I may consider depending on what is. Do we have an understanding?"
Fire Tail and Flamer look at each other as they nod towards each other. Clingly walks over towards Cinder with a concern look.
>>I admit that I have been on my own for most of the time I've been technically owned by Anton. I really hope what we just saw is a one time thing.<<
All Cinder could do is watch as her two mentors stop fighting after striking their trainer and getting scolded by Anton.

Flamer’s kicks caused the wild snake to rear up on the tip of its tail and flap it tiny wings angrily. It was ready to give these two a piece of its mind by tearing them apart with its body, lashing out in every which direction. Though most of the damage was done to the floor around it, the snake squirmed and rolled about almost pathetically as it cried loudly about the pain that this other Pokemon had inflicted. “What gives you the right to go kicking Pokemon as you feel?! I should show you how it feels to be kicked!” Although the snake had no arms or legs and was obvious that it couldn’t make good on its promise, its thrashing was enough to seem as though it meant to. Only Cinder’s words calmed the stubby snake down, who stopped in its tantrums to turn to the bright blue echidna. “If you aren’t interested in me and just want to leave me alone, fine.” It huffed angrily, turning its head back to Flamer as though there was a personal score to settle with this other Pokemon that had so rudely kicked it several times. “Can you take your light and begone? There’s another strange creature whose light has been keeping me up all night every night! Can you scare it off, too? If I had legs I’d have kicked it a billion times by now!” With that, the snake disappeared back underneath the rocky terrain that lay underfoot, as though it had never surfaced in the first place. Off in the distance, a very faint light glowed. When Anton wandered close enough to it, he would notice a strange looking candle seemingly jumping from rock to rock as it wandered around the dark cave. It had never expected a trainer or other Pokemon with bright lights to find it here. At first, the Litwick turned excitedly as though its family might have found it! Then, its face glowered when it realized it was just some strange trainer and his Pokemon. “Oh…what do you want?” The illuminated candle huffed, spitting tiny flames from the tip of its mouth. “I got lost trying to keep up with my family. I’m waiting for them. You need to return to where you came from and leave me alone here. I’ve enough problems with the Pokemon that live here.” Litwick continued, and would try to just hop off as though it could care less about Anton and his Pokemon. Wild Dunsparce fled after being defeated! ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/combusken.gif) Flamer gained 1 level. Flamer increased to Level 18! A Wild Litwick has no time for you.

Anton is still a bit unhappy with how Flamer and Fire Tail are acting. What Flamer did to the dunsparce was a bit uncalled for even if Anton didn't have any interest in the Pokemon. It doesn't help that both Flamer and Fire Tail hit him but he literally walked into it.
"Seriously, you two, you need to cool it. Flamer, remember I am the one who says who gets to battle. I am not sure if I can even call what you did was really a battle or more abuse. I need Fire Tail's flame so I would be hard pressed to put her back into her pokeball even though Clingly is still shining brightly. Flamer, I am being nice letting you stay out right now to help teach Cinder. IF you act up again, you will go back into your pokeball. Maybe I do need to carry one of Selenia's water types just in case I need to cool you off."
Anton looks down at each one hoping for eye contact. Fire Tail looks up and nods. Anton then turns his attention to Flamer who tries not to look up at Anton. After a minute, he looks up and drops his head before nodding in agreement.
"Now with that matter settled, we are off to be further into the cave. Cinder, you will continue to lead us with Clingly close to you. Remember, no one makes a move on whatever we find until I say so."
It doesn't take long for Anton's group to move down the cave. He sees what he thinks is a moving torch located low to the ground jumping from rock to rock. He signals to the group to go slower until he is able to tell what it is. In theory it could be a lost charmander that someone let loose but as far as he knows that rarely happens. It could also be a chimchar like the one he got at a festival a while back. Upon getting even closer, this flame belongs to a candle. The idea of a torch isn't too far away but this is still a Pokemon, he thinks. Like he did with the dunsparce, he gets his pokedex out and scans the Pokemon. It reveals that this one is a ghost\fire type. Knowing that fire is weak to fire, he considers Strong Tooth. He then remembers something about ghost being immune to normal attacks. This would eliminate Strong Tooth for most part. As he considers his options, he looks over to his walking light bulb. Admittedly Clingly is his strongest so this may not be much of a match but better than nothing working at all. Hopefully this choice won't make Flamer or his other fire types mad. This Pokemon he definitely wants since it is a very rare dual type.
"Okay you four, due to the typing of this Pokemon, I think Clingly will be our best bet. Usually fire moves aren't effective against other fire types nor do we know how strong this Pokemon is going to be. I don't want to drag this one out but also want to capture it. Clingly, use thunder shock but try to be as weak as possible."
As expected a slight growl comes from Flamer but he stays put. Fire Tail keeps a hand on Flamer's shoulder just to make sure he doesn't go anywhere and at same time watches as Clingly goes into battle. If she remembers right, this might be the first battle for Clingly while being a part of the group. The team's bright light walks up to the small candle Pokemon.
>>I understand what it is like to be split from your family. In my case I have a bad tendency to wander off on my own losing track of my first family. This trainer took me in but also realized that I still have the wandering tendencies so he gives me a bit of freedom. This is my first time of really truly interacting with them and being important. Sometimes finding a new family can be good thing. We will gladly help you out with the other Pokemon in this cave. We've heard of hints of something like you being in here so possible it was you and your group. Do you want to battle while you wait to help pass the time?<<
Once the litwick agrees, Clingly uses thunder shock on the ghost\fire type lighting up the cave even more.

The litwick squinted against the light which shone from Clingy, it was quite different from what light the fiery ghost could emit itself and it didn't really like it. It turned and tried to hop away but the light just came closer and it it winced when Clingy came close, not at all interested in hearing what the electric type had to tell it. "I told you to leave and leave me alone," it reminded the flaafy and turned its back on her, mostly to protect its eyes from the strong light. It was hard to get used to the sudden change when your eyes had adjusted to the dark after having spent a long time in here. Of course the litwick and its family hadn't been in here for that long, not compared to other pokemon who lived in here, and they didn't plan on staying which was also why it was important for the part fire pokemon to get back to its family. It didn't want to get left alone in here, especially not with the troubles they had encountered with the inhabitants of the cave. It glanced over its shoulder as Clingy spoke, it seemed less dismissive as the flaafy explained she knew how it felt to be lost and offered to help it. The expression turned suspicious when Clingy talked about finding a new family and it look straight up annoyed when a battle was suggested. "Why would I want to pass time? I know I don't run out while you do, but standing around idle won't really help me find my family, it's not like I need a new one," it argued, while it had had plans on waiting in the hope they wanted to returned it saw no need to wait along with this brightly shining sun-mimicker who'd do nothing but blind it. "What do you want with my family?" Litwick asked suspiciously when it realized that Clingy had said they probably had come here because they had heard they were traveling through. It was clear that Clingy and her friends wasn't going to leave it alone though, "so you want to battle," it said out of the blue and smiled maliciously, "isn't that a bit hard if you are lost and can't find you friends?"The flame on its head began to flicker and burn uneven and released a lot of smog which filled the air, Clingy jumped back and sparks zapped from her in defense.

Anton is glad to see the litwick still standing with its flame lit. He was concerned that Clingly would have put too much charge behind the last attack even if by accident. He digs through his bag and finds a Pokeball. Thankfully the illumination from Fire Tail's flame is enough to give him the light he needs.
"Good job, Clingly. I'm going to toss a Pokeball now and from what I can tell this should be a catch unless I somehow miss the litwick. IF this does fail, try to keep the candle around without doing any more damage."
Clingly understood and side stepped in order to give Anton a better target without disengaging the litwick altogether. Anton tosses the ball and thankfully hitting the opposite side of where Clingly is standing.
"Now it is time to wait and see if this one will decide to join us and accept us as its new family."
Anton stands back watching the Pokeball wiggle back and forth. He hopes each catch is still as exciting as this one and his previous ones. He does have the advantage of not catching everything he sees which allows the ones he does decide to keep that exciting.
Fire Tail walks closer to Cinder and lays a hand on the quilava.
>>That is how you control your power to being just enough for the mission. Clingly is powerful enough that there probably is a chance she could have knocked out the litwick. Even though Clingly is an electric type doesn't mean we dismiss her abilities or talents. I don't know which type has more power behind them but usually electric types are quicker.<<
>>Thanks for the pointers. I have focused on you and Flamer being my teachers but I guess I could learn from anyone on this team. I really hope the hopping candle Pokemon does join us. It will be good to have more fire types on this growing team. How many does our trainer have total?<<
Fire Tail looks up towards Anton trying to remember how many he had told her about the collection.
>>I think he said something about six more beyond us. He fully intends on collecting as many fire types as he can. I'm clueless on how many that will be but I know he is enthused about us. At same time, he probably eventually switch some of us out for the others. I plan on not taking it personally which I suggest you do the same, Cinder.<<
Flamer hears the mention of possibly being switched out for other fire types. This makes him join in on the conversation.
>>I surely hope I stay in the mix regardless of the mission. All three of us have the privilege of being called starter Pokemon because of the way we are given usually by professors. Our trainer should know we are some of the more powerful fire Pokemon he is going to have.<<
Little did they know the chinchou is listening in on their conversation. Anton smirks as his three fire Pokemon continue to talk and probably discuss battle strategies. He is glad Fire Tail is continuing her teaching style with Cinder. Flamer seems to be too much of himself and more of a hot head than the typical charmeleon which is saying quite a bit. The fire trio is definitely an interesting experiment to watch grow up. As much as he won't admit it to them, one reason for getting a ground, rock, or steel type from here is to maybe keep them in line even though the steel type would be weak to them. He just hopes the steel types are dual rock or ground and have one of the type moves.

The small, lost Litwick tilted its head, leaning the string that was lit with a bright flame towards the hot pink sheep covered in thick white wool around just her head. Though it had asked some important questions towards it opponent, Clingly didn’t seem to respond to the small candle’s questions. When it spied Anton pulling out a strange looking red-and-white sphere Litwick’s eyes bugged out of their sockets in fear. They were going to try and steal the small Pokemon from it’s home, so that they could keep it a captive victim for whatever they might have had planned! It immediately spun around and began hopping across the ground in a hasty need to escape. The cave groaned with the sounds of wild Pokemon hidden in the darkness that cloaked the further reaches of the rocky environment. Litwick didn’t even try to dodge around the mundane existence of the large stalagmites that would have blocked many other Pokemons and caused them to dodge and dart around their large frames. It floated through them with its ghostly body, simply hopping past as though they weren’t even there. “I’ve really got to go!” Litwick wailed at the top of its lungs. “I’ve got to find my family!” It shrieked in a sharp, shrill voice. The Poke Ball was faster, however, and easily tapped the ethereal Pokemon against its back. It squeaked loudly and shook its entire body in protest as a warm red beam of light enveloped the small creature. This couldn’t be where its journey ended! What would its family think of it, and how worried would they be if they never saw it again?! “Oh, please, don’t take me! I’m too young! I’m not ready yet!” Litwick tried to scream, though half of its message would be cut off as it disappeared inside of the Poke Ball. The red and white sphere would fall on the ground and rock back and forth in long sweeps, evident of the small Pokemon fighting for its way back out. A final ding would be all that announced Anton’s successful capture. SUCCESS!!

Anton had a feeling that Clingly would be a bit too strong for the litwick but that same feeling also told him his own fire types wouldn't be much use. This cave may prove to be more difficult than expected. He looks further down the cave with the light provided by Fire Tail and Clingly. It is hard to see any of the possible Pokemon down there but he knows there are more to find.
"Well guys, it looks like we need to go in deeper. I've yet to find anything I have in mind for our next partner. The litwick was a nice surprise though. I remember very little about ghost types but it is odd that what we faced was a fire\ghost type."
Anton flips his pokedex and types in the name of the Pokemon he is looking for. He shows his five Pokemon who he is looking for. The picture of a white looking Pokemon appears with the name aron under it.
"This is the main one I am hoping to find and catch. There are others who could serve the purpose."
Anton then types in geodude and bronzor.
"These two are also useful for what I need. We will also catch these as well as aron. There is another winged Pokemon which we will catch for Selenia."
Anton now brings up a picture of woobat. It is a fluff ball with bat wings and a funny nose which reminds Anton of a pig snout.
"Anything else we will battle in order to grow stronger. I am hoping that all of you will get stronger before we leave this cave. Clingly, you might be the exception unless we come across some really strong Pokemon in this cave. Since Chin Chin is quite a bit weaker than the rest of you, I'll attach the experience share to him."
Anton proceeds to put the device on the chinchou hoping it will be able to stay out of the fights while learning how to fight by watching. After making sure the device is strapped on snug, Anton walks down deeper into the cave with Clingly retaking the lead by a few steps and Fire Tail a couple of steps back giving a decent area of light. Chin Chin is walking in front of Fire Tail but still a step behind Anton. Flamer is on Anton's left while Cinder is on his right. The Pokemon are all keeping watch for whatever they could encounter making sure nothing gets to Anton or the young Chin Chin.

In his search for Geodude or Bronzer, for a while all Anton would find were ordinary rocks. Rocks, stalagmites, and stalactites as far as the eye could see...which wasn't very far, incidentally. He was right in his assertion that they might need to step even deeper into the cave in search of their quarries. Stepping around the many potholes and torn apart terrain was tricky, but Anton would hopefully be able to manage well enough on his own in the dark, guided slightly by his Pokemon's light. Of course, all the light in the world can only do so much for someone in a place such as the Dark Cave. There was a reason, after all, why there were so many warning signs posted along the front of the cave. Many a schoolboy had gotten lost or hurt in these caves trying to find some rare Pokemon to show off and brag about with all their friends. Luckily, it wasn't a pothole or sudden sinkhole that caught Anton and his Pokemon's attention. Instead as the small crew of fire and electric types wandered into the inky darkness of the cave, Anton's foot would collide with what had originally appeared to be just an abnormally large rock. But the rock didn't move, didn't give way to the force of Anton's steps like a normal pebble or stone might. Instead, it shook and trembled, two muscular arms sticking from it as it shook the dirt off of it. It had been sleeping so peacefully until someone had disturbed it....was it this human? Was he the one who interrupted its beauty sleep? The Geodude flexed its arms and let out a loud, DUUUUUUUUDDDDEEE the reverberated through the cave's walls. The noise was almost deafening, fueled by frustration at the prospect of being awakened and confusion at the sudden intruder. The Geodude rolled back a few feet, distancing itself from the Trainer and his crew of Pokemon; it was no fool, it knew it was outnumbered. But it would defend itself and protect its home from the two-legged and his minions; none of the other Geodudes must be awakened from their sleep. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/geodude.png) Anton has disturbed a wild Geodude (Level 12)!

Anton enjoys what he can see of the cave and wished he knew exactly how far he is in the cave. When he researched the caves, he focused more on the Pokemon instead of the length of them. As much as he wished Pokemon had a special spot they lived, from what he had learned so far that vast majority had a range of where they could live even if it is only one route or general location. No one has been able to determine the exact living conditions for a specific Pokemon. This makes it a lot more of a challenge to hunt down a specific one. Luckily for him his troop ran across one of the ones he is looking for even if it is more of a second place Pokemon. He figured he would catch all three of the rock\ground\steel mix Pokemon he could encounter in this cave.
"Alright!! It looks like we have stumbled upon one of the Pokemon we are looking for. Hmm, who do I want to use on this one? I believe most of you would have difficulties with this one."
As Anton continues to look at the five Pokemon he has out, Strong Tooth breaks out of his Pokeball to join the group. He looks around as he stretches his body and legs. It takes a few moments for his eyes to adjust to the lighting and surrounding. For most of the Pokemon he expected but the blue and yellow one with what looks like the experience share Wings had on a while back is one he didn't know.
>>Hey fire trio, I see you still get along for most part. I also see Clingly over there even though I don't remember that form but at same time hard to say who else would have that kind of wool. So who is the tiny blue ball with antennas?<<
The fire starter trio all turn to the now released Strong Tooth. Fire Tail is happy to see her oldest friend getting a stretch out and saying hi to everyone. He then mentions the changes to Clingly and wonders if Strong Tooth was in or out of his Pokeball when Clingly came back. As for the blue ball Pokemon, Fire Tail didn't know who Strong Tooth was talking about until Fire Tail turned around to spot the blue Pokemon with the antennas that has yellow blobs on the end. Chin Chin looks at Fire Tail and then at Strong Tooth. The young chinchou smiles at the two oldest members of the group.
Anton doesn't think much about the chatter until he hears the familiar voice of Strong Tooth. He looks down to notice the open Pokeball on his belt and the purple rattata on the ground. Instead of facing forward, Strong Tooth is facing towards the back of the group. As Anton turns his attention to where his rattata is looking, it dawns on Anton he never officially introduced Chin Chin to the group even though he did mention the Pokemon's name as he put on the experience share a few minutes ago.
"Hey you two, I'll introduce you and the rest formally to Chin Chin but we have a Pokemon in front of us who I want to capture. I was just thinking about who to use. Chin Chin, being part water, would be useful but way too weak hence the experience share. Since you are now out, Strong Tooth, would you consider taking a literal bite out of the geodude? I believe you will live up to your name with those strong teeth of yours."
The mention of a battle got Strong Tooth's attention. It been a long while since he was able to enjoy a proper battle. After turning around, he finally notices the rock with arms. Guessing that the rest would have a real challenge, Strong Tooth is proud to have what Anton needs. If he understood his master right, he hinted at using bite which Strong Tooth does by lunging at the geodude with mouth open as wide as possible.
While Strong Tooth is doing this, Anton gets one of this empty Pokeballs and gives it a toss after Strong Tooth attacks.
(OOC: 705 words, 600 to eggs, Strong Tooth uses Bite and then Anton tosses a normal Pokeball.)
