Welcome to Gaia! ::

Freth continued to follow the bunch. After tending to her Walrien, she recalled it then got at the ready another one, in case she needed to use it. "Ugh, hopefully no more damage is going to be done to us...Doc is probably already going to have a field day as is once he finds out what at least Ship, RC, and Sub been through." she said.

Ship shut his eyes once more, to try to make damn certain he hadn't lost the trail. They'd come too far for that. "It's...almost gotten a little hard to pinpoint it," he said. "I wonder if we're close enough that we're enveloped in its energy, or I've gotten some sort of fatigue."

"Actually we should be close enough for Poe to smell for gems." Sub said as he released the Sableye from his ball. "Hehe, now what?" He asked with a grin. "We need you to find us some Dark Gems. They should be close enough for you to pin point with ease." He told the Pokemon. "Fine, so long as I get one to munch on." Sub simply nodded at the Pokemon, confirming that he could have a Dark Gem as a good job. The Sableye proceeded to go right to work afterwards, crawling on all fours, skittering across the ground, up the side of the cave walls, and finally clinging to the ceiling of the cave, upside down.

"There are some up here, hehe..." Said Poe, who didn't wait to start digging into the rock with his claws, quickly making a hole big enough to stick his head in, which cause half the Pokemon to disappear from sight. "Well? Anything?" Sub asked as he watched his Pokemon, who responded by disappearing into a shadow, said shadow zipping across the cave until it stopped in front of Sub. The Sableye would appear from the pool of black on the ground, holding in his arms about four chunks of rock with large bits of jet black gem embedded in them. "One large order of Dark Gem, fresh from the dirt! Hehe!" Poe chuckled as he presented the gems to his trainer.

"Awesome, Poe, good job." Sub said as he held open his backpack for the Pokemon to dump the ores into. Sub would return his Pokemon right after he received the Dark Gems, proceeding to sling his backpack over his shoulder and face the others. "Thanks for the help guys, you too Ship. I guess this is a mission accomplished."

Ship, secretly, was relieved that Poe was able to wrap this up. The boy was at his end of focus and a soak in a nice, hot tub sounded like the best escape as soon as they got back. "I am ready, Miss Night," he said. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to help in battle. Again."

"Hey, Teashi where've you been?" Tsuki asked, seeing the other Snagger enter. He hadn't seen the guy in a while actually. His Charmander was on the 13 year olds lap, as he spun around in a rolley chair.

Tsuki laughed a bit. "You're telling me. We went to Snowpoint City and there was this Beartic who loved the move Blizzard. Not fun." he said, stopping the spinning of the chair. He wobbled for a moment, dizzy.

"Which one?" Tsuki questioned "There's like a million of them." Tsuki almost shivered remembering when he was caught in a pile snow for a while. Even with his old Magmar it wasn't enough to not get a bad cold.

"I think the nearest Center is in Viridian City if you decide not to teleport. Sub showed me this secret way past the station to enter Victory Road." he shrugged, remembering when that happened. It was about a year ago as he had been getting an evolution item for his Sneasel, now Weavile.
