Nyx yelped and covered her head as a few more large rocks fell from the ceiling. The whole cave was going to collapse at this rate! "Darwin, ice beam the big one!" She obviously meant the golem, or at least the mew sincerely hoped so, because that was the pokemon he launched his next attack at.

The tremors nearly knocked Claire off her feet - they didn't, thankfully - and she stumbled out of the way of the annoying falling rocks. It seemed she had the same idea as Aulus, but right now there was a rampaging Golem rolling around and she had no intention of being flattened by falling rocks or the raging rock/ground-type. "Stop it!" She shouted to Alexina, who was suddenly hit in the side by a flying icy Geodude. She hissed and skidded to a stop, aiming an Ice Beam at the Golem in an attempt to freeze it to the ground again.

"Absol! move back under the protect!"
This wasn't going well, the longer the battle went on the more rocks were falling,
the team was right in the middle of this, something bad was going to happen and who knew how long they were going to be stuck in here now!
Faleen looked over when TRP suddenly jumped in under Sharpedo's Preotection, moving over to check on the Elite and made sure she was under the protection.
"Keep it up Sharpedo!" she told her shark, who roared out in reply.
"Are you alright Ma'am?" she addressed the Elite. "Are they doing this on purpose?"
Absol turned to move back, but let out a sudden yelp when one of the geodude's attacks struck him, snarling as a few rocks bounce off of his back, he staged to the ground, turning to strike another ice Beam at them.
A few more Rocks hit Absol, slowing him down from returning under the Protect, so Faleen pulled his dusk ball out to return him.
Banette was in sight, throwing Shadow balls at any Geodude that got to close to where his master was positioned.

Aulus made a good point. "We should move into the next area," she agreed. "At least that way we can trap the Golem here." All it would take, it seemed, was one solid blow before the rest of the ceiling tumbled down on them. A steadying hand acted as a warning to Fleur that she would need to act soon; if the Golem and its posse pursued them, she could hold them off with Vine Whip.

"I'm not your sweetheart." TRP muttered in response to Orion. At Aulus and Aila's suggestions about making a break for the tunnel TRP nodded, "Good idea.."
At the same time, the Golem was struck by an Aura Sphere and two more ice beams. Apparently the ongoing battle was finally overcoming the rock pokémon, because it lost control and slammed full force into the cave wall. The sound of the crash echoed up to the ceiling. The crack of disengaging rocks rattled around the cave.
"RUN!!!" TRP shouted, sprinting for the tunnel opening as a rain of stones fell around them.
Deimos and Tethys weren't far behind.

She didn't have to be told twice; The ceiling started to rumble, Nyx grabbed Darwin, returned Tazieff, and took off running for the new tunnel. Being squished in a rock fall was not a very attractive idea.

As the Golem careened into the cave wall, Claire was already cursing under her breath and heading for the tunnel. She obviously didn't need to be told twice by the elite. As she ran she pulled out Xina's pokeball, quickly returning the Glaceon before replacing the ball on her belt. The last thing she wanted was to lose track of the petite ice-type and have her turn into a little pancake. The falling rocks were annoying but thankfully none collided with her head. A couple decent-sized sharp ones cut through her uniform, leaving two or three minor cuts on her shoulders and arms. Briefly she glanced around to try and figure out where Aulus was, for absolutely no other reason than helping a teammate. No other reason at all. Nope, none.

Well crap. With a quick touch of the pokeball to the Venusaur's side to recall her, Aila darted in the direction of the opening, lingering warily just inside the tunnel and waiting for the other Rockets to make it to safety. Unlike Claire, her intent was to ensure that each of their allies made it to safety. Ideally the Galactics wouldn't.
Ideally this wasn't the third time the earth had crumbled around them.

Aulus did not need to be told twice, he didn't even need to be told once in fact. Calling back his pokemon to save a crush in the tunnel Aulus sprinted for the comparative safety of the passageway. It was dark without Char lighting his way and he stumbled over a few unseen obstacles, but just about managed to keep his feet and keep moving. Where was Claire? He couldn't see her, but she was capable. She was fine. He was sure. "Claire?" Oh why the hell had he felt the need to go and yell for her? Idiot. She was an Agent. She'd be fine. Why hadn't she answered yet?

At the command, Faleen returned her Sharpedo, removing the protect from over them, but by the time he was in she was already running for the other room, Her Umbreon fast at her side, being her light so she wouldn't go running into rocks or trip over uneven ground..
Rocks continued to fall around them, she felt several bounce off of her shoulder and back.

"Pffft, that's what they all say, darling!" Orion crowed as he took off after them. He didn't need to be told twice either. His Lucario quickly following after him as well.
"HA HA HA! YEAH! THIS IS AWESOME!" The green haired Galactic shouted as the ceiling started falling around them. Talk about an adrenaline rush! Nothing like being nearly crushed by falling boulders!
Once they were inside the next tunnel and in the clear, Orion stopped and looked back, grinning like a maniac. "Who's up for round two?"

Once hand was on her knee, the other held her side that was throbbing.
A rock had struck right where the scar was from the bullet she had taken a year ago, that aria was already sensitive. and it awoke memories of pain she would rather not be feeling at the moment.
Her attention was on the galactic male with the green hair, eyes wide and staring at him with her mouth slightly open.
... Was he serious?
"How is it that you are still alive?"

"He's like a cockroach," Tethys huffed as she passed Faleen. The white of her uniform was smeared with rock dust. Her Starmie spun beside her, one arm bent from acting like a shield.

Panting after the sprint, TRP turned a glare on Orion, "Is he always like this?"
"Well he's Orion." Deimos explained, as though it should be obvious. Frowning, he tugged one of his large white gloves off and turned it upside down, emptying pebbles from it.
"Sighing, TRP turned around to survey the new area. They were in another cave. Glorious. Fortunately nothing was trying to kill them in this one. Not at the moment, anyways. Like the other caves, it was littered with fallen rocks; an obvious sign of instability.
TRP tilted her head slightly, squinting across the cave. On the other side was a faint glow.. coming through... "...is that a door?"
It was a door. A very sturdy metal door with thick bars. The far wall of the new cavern looked carved out and less natural. From the other side of the bars the faint glow of light was being cast on the ground from around a corner. It didn't look like sunlight. Upon closer inspection, the door was, of course, locked. It was also secured with a thick chain for good measure.
"....what kind of cave is this?"

"What?" The question came from probably a couple feet behind Aulus, as Claire was frowning at him slightly in a curious manner while tying her hair up into a bun. She did like her long hair, but it was getting too annoying to deal with while dodging falling rocks and pokemon attacks.
She turned then to look across the cavern at the door on the other end, one eyebrow raising curiously. It certainly wasn't any kind of cave she'd ever seen... Curiosity was getting the better of her. What was behind the door?
Still, better to be safe than sorry.
A flash of white revealed the Pikachu again, and she pointed into the dim cavern. "Go look around," she ordered, and his cheeks sparked as he bounded off to go scout.
