Well at least the 'fearless leader' of Team Galactic had stopped trembling in his little boots temporarily. The reason for his abrupt change in attitude, however, made Aulus raise his eyebrows again; should they really be flashing tech around like that? Eh, what did he know, and it wasn't like a cool display was that big of a deal anyway... Tortie hadn't come back yet. Was that good or bad? Scowling to himself Aulus peered into the flickering shadows, seriously wishing he could just attack the darkness and make it vanish. Maybe he should teach Char Flash at some point, that move would be really useful right now.

One of those sensitive noses found the slight shift of the air, the Growlithe's short bark of a report announcing as much to her trainer. Aila separated from the bulk of the group and approached the stone pile, eying it critically. She had a number of pokemon that would be capable of moving the fallen rocks, and she knew her team well enough to assume they did as well, but...
"There seems to be an opening past here," she called to the assembly of villains, "but I'm not sure I would trust the cavern to hold up against too much force after those crashes." It didn't sound like the best idea to go tossing stones around in a cave that had collapsed twice in a short period of time.

Holding it up high over her head, staring at the loading screen for a few more seconds before shaking her head
"Not with the rock in the way." she answered Nyx, sliding her fingers over the dex screen again.
"It would be useful to at least know how deep we are."
She returned her eyes to the rocks, it was here that she caught sight of something, and caused her to stare, and then blush a little with a frown.
... a Sableye, a pokemon she had never seen before, but one she had quite a bit of interest in... and it was owned by a galactic.
Her attention was torn away however when she noticed that her space was being mostly invaded by a rather unwelcome guest.
Eyebrows arching in surprise as she looked around at him sharply, then down at her rocket dex, folding it close to her chest as she took a step to the side.
She stood, blinking at him for a moment before slowly answering "... It is. It comes standard, including touch screen interface."
Well, this was a bit awkward.

"Cario," bellowed a Pokemon from one end of the cavern where the pile of rocks were. The fighting type's form glowing a blue hue as it used its aura. He glanced back at the group of humans before turning his gaze on the pile of rocks, eyes narrowing at one particularly large boulder.
"Eh? What's up Bandit?" Orion asked, as he stepped over and stood behind his Lucario. The Galactic frowned and crossed his arms. "Maaan, this sucks." Yet another blocked exit? Aila's words weren't all that comforting either, cause she was probably right.

Artemis had spotted the other Growlithe and eagerly bounded over to follow her instead. She too could smell the slight difference and wagged her tail furiously as she began sniffing all over the rock formation. A 'tunnel', whatever that was. Her tail wagged while she panted quite happily, peering up at the pink Growlithe with bright orange eyes. Oh, she hoped they could dig!
Zeus on the other hand had rolled his eyes and returned to Claire when the short human and her Growlithe had found it, so his trainer walked over to join her, though not too close. That annoying green-haired man was there, too. "What should we do, then?" They had to do something, but she wasn't too keen on another cave-in.

Deimos seemed undeterred by Faleen's obvious discomfort. Or perhaps just oblivious to it. "Oohhh Tethys, did you hear that? They come standard!" He pointed at the device. "How many power cells does it have? Are they lithium ion? Does it take solar power? How many functions does it have? Oh, does it have gps connectivity?? Did you set up your own satellite network or have you hacked into another one?" He was leaning closer, trying to get a good look at the 'dex.
TRP eyed Tethys, "Can you please reign him in?" She passed the Galactics to see what the others had found. As Axel neared the boulder his tail lit the scene. The smaller rocks scattered around weren't too intimidating, but the large boulder in the middle would take some work to move, "Hmm.." She peered at the edge, confirming that it seemed to be covering an exit, "Good work." She looked back up at the boulder, "We can't start beating on it.. this place is too unstable. "It's pretty round, though.. we might be able to roll it if we work together."

Faleen could answer these questions... but she bit her tongue, just blinking at the Galactic leader, her cheeks turning a little pink from how anxious she was becoming about the situation she was in right now. slowly leaning back as he leaned closer.
Umbreon did not look amused, the fur along his back bristled and stood on end, but he made no move, since his master gave him no order.
"Its probably best we worry about what the pokemon have found right now" she said with a slight awkward laugh, pointing over to the bolder that they would need to move.
"Maybe later."

Hurray, time to make use of his special and unique skills that had earned him a place on his mission. Muscle. The two other men - he used the term loosely - looked no stronger than the average woman, so if any useful shoving was going to be done it was going to be pokemon and or him doing it. "Anyone got a strong pokemon that could push it, or at least help?" Aulus asked, eyeing up the boulder and ruffling Tortie's mane absent-mindedly as she prowled back to stand beside him. "What about you," he turned to Nyx, "don't you have an Aggron?" An Aggron could probably roll the massive rock out of the way all by itself.

Charmant regarded the other Growlithe with a bemused expression. "" she informed flatly. "" For such a brightly-colored pokemon, the fire-type wasn't the friendliest nor the most patient, especially not towards those that showed no restraint.
Aila gave a curt nod as she withdrew another of her pokeballs. A moment later, a timid Aggron stood at her side, towering over his trainer as he glanced curiously at their surroundings. It had been a while since he had been taken anywhere besides the desert or the training facilities, and he recognized neither their location nor their company.
"Acier, we need to remove the boulder," she explained. "Gently." With a nod, the Aggron approached the stone, slowing when Aulus reached it before him and acknowledging him with a nervous expression. The human wouldn't mind if he helped, right? He wouldn't make fun of him if he couldn't do it, right...?

Nyx nodded as she stepped towards Aulus and away from Deimos, "Oh- yes!" She released the large steel type from its pokeball; Even if there was already an Aggron moving the boulder, two was always better than one. She'd have to ask Aulus about his being in Team Rocket later. "Maxwell, help push that out of the way." She motions to the human and the other Aggron, who were standing near by.
The coppery Aggron rumbled and slowly lumbered over.

Move it? She had got to be kidding. That thing had to weigh as much as a Snorlax.
"Yeah no... I'll just... stay over here and supervise, thanks," Orion said dismissively, waving an arm at the Rockets. The Galactic standing well out of the way of the boulder with his Lucario.
When the Aggron was released though, he wasn't about to be out done. He didn't have to get his hands dirty, but his Pokemon could. With that, he released another large Pokemon, a Dragonite. The dragon type moving over to assist.

With a whispery skittering, scratching noise of claws over rock, the Sableye zipped through the group of Pokemon and scrabbled up and over the boulder, squeezing through a small gap into the tunnel beyond.
Tethys had been watching Deimos from where she waited. With hands behind her back and attention on the small, squirrelly man peering at Faleen's dex, she looked something like a mix of soldier and playground monitor. Perhaps she heard TRP, perhaps not; she didn't make eye contact, but she did wander over to the Galactic boss and Rocket agent, inclining her head to give the dex a cursory, polite once-over.
"Yes, sir. Perhaps you can draw some ideas for the toaster," she replied, then straightened up. "We've found a possible exit. It may lead to a better place to pursue this."

Artemis stopped wagging her tail as the other Growlithe chastised her, ears drooping and tail dropping down as she slinked back to Claire. She wasn't nice...
Claire sighed lightly and leaned down to pet the sad Growlithe, then straightened up to watch the pokemon move the boulder. All of hers were smaller than she was and would only be in the way, so she merely stood off to the side to wait.

"Don't be silly, Tethys.. this wouldn't work in a toaster. It'd be for the waffle iron." He seemed serious. In any case, he wasn't gawking at the pokédex anymore.
TRP nodded at the large pokémon assembling to move the boulder. "Alright, on the count of three. One... two.... three!"
As the group of pokémon started pushing, the boulder began to roll easily out of the way... then started trembling. It stopped rolling and twisted abruptly, revealing a large gray head. "Gooooooooooolem!"
TRP blinked, "Oh..."
The smaller rocks scattered around the large rock pokémon stirred as well, revealing a handful of perturbed geodudes. The golem, looking properly angry now, drew itself to stand up and stomped a foot on the ground. Several rocks tumbled from the ceiling, dotting the cave floor. This clearly wasn't an ideal location for a fight.

Oh shi-- Seriously? Augh.. Quickly Claire pulled out two pokeballs, returning both Artemis and Zeus - both of them looking extremely nervous at the presence of the Golem - before putting them away. She pulled out a single pokeball instead, and in the resulting flash of white light a petite Glaceon took shape. "Ice Beam," the young woman ordered, hoping that Alexina would at least attempt to avoid any rock-type attacks.
"Laaa," she chirred as she side-stepped to get a better view of her target, then sent a beam of pale, translucent ice at the Golem.
