Brynd opted to explore the path that was revealed by his newly defeated foe, clopping along on his four, short legs as fast as they would carry him. This was all getting to be a whole lot of fun, and he could not imagine why he had been so grumpy just a few moments ago. He was built for this! Adventuring and enjoying his time, looking for things and giving himself personal quests and challenges to face! It was brilliant, for lack of a better term.
It was a lot of fun.

A Slugma! This place was just full of fire pokemon, and they were all blocking paths or looking for trouble. This one saw Brynd and, after seeing Numel go running by before, knew what to expect. It leered at the Grass type pokemon, not afraid of the little Bulbasaur despite being a blob of living magma with barely enough of a face to pull off leering. Bulbasaur braced himself, lowering his head and readying himself for the fire that he was sure would come at him.

And fire did come. A lot of fire, and Brynd felt himself panic. It hurt, but not as much as he thought it would. Probably because he was already running and only the tail end of the attack was able to reach him. Still, it was a stark reminder as to why a grass type pokemon needed to be a little less cavalier with his adventuring when in a fire based dungeon. he would have to remember that as he proceeded, though for now he was just running to get away from the Slugma before it had a chance to attack again.
Stopping to catch his breath after a long while, Brynd looked around to realize he had come to a new area of the dungeon, rather than to one he had not explored yet. he was in a tunnel of some kind, and it was dark, which meant, at least, that no pokemon that were on fire were in front of or behind him. He would take that as a good sign, and he continued along the tunnel's path slowly, until it opened up and he was in another room of the volcano.

There was nothing in this room and it was a welcomed reprieve. He sat down on a rock and waited for his heart rate to slow back down, and the strength to return to his limbs. They had turned to jello after he had darted out of that room with the Slugma. He waited for a little while before he took a deep breath and got up, continuing on his way down another path.
The area opened up once again and he entered another room, this one smaller than the ones from before. He wondered if he was getting deeper into the volcano, and if things were going to get harder or more complicated from here on out. He was beginning to doubt himself again, the farther away from the door he got. Not that he could even remember what direction the door was, at this point. But he would figure it out, he always did.

Harder. Definitely harder. He entered the room and there was Slugma once again! Or was it another Slugma? If it was, they all acted the same way, because this one took one look at the Bulbasaur and knew the grass type was clearly in the wrong place, and needed to be shown the door. It drew its head back and readied a flamethrower, just like the one before it, and Brynd let out a yelp of fear in recognizing the motion.

But things were not going to go the same this time. Bulbasaur leaped to the side as Slugma threw its droopy head forward and let out its flames, which belched past Bulbasaur as he skidded to the side, scrambling his stubby feet under him as he turned around sharply and slammed into the fire slug from the side. Slugma went skidding on its belly, since it didn't seem to have anything else, and slammed into a wall, flopping over and looking dazed. It did not get up in a hurry, and when it did, it crawled away from Brynd with an indignant look.
Brynd let out a whoop of victory, even going so far as to haul himself backwards onto his back legs so he could throw his front legs into the air and wave them a bit in his excitement. He looked like Seel for a moment, or even a Spheal, round and tubby and certainly not built for this kind of activity.
But still! He had won! Take that, Slugma!

The growled chuckle he heard behind him told Brynd that he was not as alone in this room as he thought. He put his feet back on the ground and looked over his shoulder, as best as he was able to with his bulb there, anyway, to see the Charizard that was grinning at him.
Eep.
He turned slowly, and the Charizard took a step forward, nodding at him almost respectfully and urging him on to fight. Prove himself, maybe. Oh god, this was going to be awful, Brynd thought helplessly.

The bulbasaur was no match for the Charizard, who chased him out of the room with a laugh and a blaze of Embers. Bulbasaur ran as fast as he could, once again scampering away from a fire type in fear. Damn it! One day he was going to be able to face fire without feeling such terrible fear. But having a bulb that was very flammable stuck to his back, a part of him, made him very cautious around anything that could burn. Could he really be blamed for that? Opting not to go down that path again, Brynd continued on in the direction he had been running, though he slowed down to catch his breath.
This was embarrassing, in its way, but it was still rather exhilarating. No matter how bad things got, and they had gotten pretty bad so far, this was something Brynd was sure he was built to do. Why not push himself, test himself against the worst of the worst? If he could succeed in this dungeon, where he had every weakness and disadvantage, what couldn't he face later? He kept that in mind as he soldiered on.

Brynd heard something rumbling behind him and was almost too afraid to look back to see what it was. He was glad he did though, as he saw a plume of fire and it chased him into the next room. He skidded to a stop, singed and a bit burned, as the Charizard flew in behind him. Clearly, the fire type pokemon was not done picking on the Bulbasaur. Or maybe he was trying to push Brynd to see what he was made of?
No, Brynd was pretty sure he was just being a jerk.

Bulbasaur had already learned from last time, though, how poorly the fight would go. He took off running before Charizard had another chance to attack, and he did not not stop running until his legs felt like they were going to explode from the exertion. Surely the Charizard wouldn't follow him this far!
Brynd needed to find a dark corner to hide in for a bit, to nurse his burns and just catch his breath again. It was time to start thinking about heading back, surely, and he tried to pick a direction that would take him back toward the mouth of the volcano, rather than further into it.
