Mining for Pokemon

[Pokemaster]

Tori would walk into the the tunnel at the side of the boiling pools, seeing that things were different than they had been in the previous area. the ground had been lined with a track and certain places seemed to be built up. " This place is really different than the Boiling Pools. It's like a mine but no workers are down here." Davis says to himself looking around.

" That would be because this is are is known as the Abandoned Mine since there's really nothing left to be mined out." A voice says as the person who had spoken walks up the tunnel, revealing it to be Rorak. " Since then, pokemon have made this mine into their home."

" Wait I know who you are, you're Rorak of the Oreburgh City Gym. What're you doing out here in Shouto?" Tori asks wondering why he would be out there rather than at his gym.

" Well some days of the week I like to check out the mines here at the Volco Caves. They say that they're tapped out, but it never hurts to do some digging. You never know what you'll find." Rorak responds.

" Hmm given that you're here right now and all, how about we have a bit of a battle. Though I'm not after badges, it's always useful to learn what you can from others." Tori says to him wanting a chance to battle.

" Alright sure we can battle here and now. Go Geodude." Rorak says as he sends out his Geodude to the field.

" Tama-kun, let's go." Tori says as she throws Tama's pokeball to the field, releasing him into the battle. " Tama-kun lets start things off with Water Gun." Tama would breath in as he spits forth a burst of water from his mouth towards Geodude, striking it with the water, knocking it back against the cave walls, dealing 84 damage, fainting it.

*Tama gained 120 xp
Tama grew to lv 26*

" That's a nice pokemon you've got there, but how about trying my Onix." He says recalling Geodude as he would then send out his Onix. Appearing on the field, the rock snake would give a roar.

" Tama-kun now give that Onix your Water Pulse." Tori says as Tama would form a ball of water between his hands, throwing it forward at Onix, striking it, exploding into a burst of water, soaking it causing it to thrash in pain as it deals 132 damage, fainting it.

*Tama gained 150 xp*

" Well seems you now face my strongest pokemon. Let's go Cranidos." Rorak says as he releases his Cranidos to the field. Cranidos would walk forward towards Tama, roaring.

" Tama-kun we won't back down against that. Give it your Shell Blade." Tori says as Tama would nod removing his she as it takes on a bladed aura. Tama would then run forward at Cranidos jumping up at it, slashing it with the blade, knocking it up and backwards to the ground, dealing 78 damage, fainting it.

*Tama gained 175 xp
Tama grew to lv 27*

" Alright Tama-kun, you were great. You've really grown strong since we first met." Tori says happily picking up Tama as Rorak comes over to her.

" Wow that was a very impressive battle, you've definitely raised your pokemon very well and with a lot of love. It's no wonder its so strong. Here take this as my appreciation for such a battle." Rorak says giving Tori TM Stealth Rock and $1200. " If you ever want to battle again, I'm here Monday and Wednesdays. Till then, see you." Rorak would then head down the mine to explore.

Tori would continue exploring the inside of the Abandoned Mine looking to see what pokemon that she could find in such a place. As she walks through the mine area, she would notice as a pair of Aron, one level 25 and the other level 29, not allowing her to pass, seeing her as an intruder. " If you're not going to let me by, I'll get you out of the way. Go Hinata-chan and Mimi-chan." Tori says as she releases her Quilava and Bunneary from their pokeballs onto the field.

" Hinata-chan start things out with a Flamethrower on the stronger Aron and Mimi use Jump Kick on the other." Tori says as Hinata's flame would light as she spits forth a burst of fire from her mouth onto the Aron, striking it, covering it in flames, knocking it back (Aron 41/89) The stronger Aron would attack back at Hinata with Iron Head, running forward at her as its head takes on a metallic form as it strikes her (Hinata 128/135) The second Aron would then attack with Metal Claw, jumping forward at Mimi, striking her with a hard slash, knocking her back (Mimi 60/76)
Mimi would then jump back at the Aron, kicking at it in mid air, striking it, knocking it back (Aron 60/77)

" Now Hinata-chan get the first one with another Flamethrower and Mimi-chan get the second one with another Jump Kick." Tori says as Hinata would breath forth a burst of fire from her mouth onto the remaining Aron, burning at it, dealing 48 damage, fainting it.

*Hinata gained 145 xp
Mimi gained 145 xp*

The remaining Aron would then jump at Hinata using another Metal Claw as she finishes the attack, striking her with its claws, hurting her some (Hinata 127/135) Mimi would then jump forward at Aron coming down on it with a kick, striking it on the head (Aron 47/77) " Hinata-chan finish it with one more Flamethrower." Tori says as Hinata would spit forth a burst of fire onto Aron, striking it dealing 57 damage, fainting it.

* Hinata gained 125 xp
Mimi gained 125 xp
Mimi grew to lv 24*

" That was a great battle from both of you, you put up a great fight against those 2 Aron, though it seems that we're not in much of an advantage with Aron." Tori says as she would congratulate her pokemon as they both give happy cries to her

[Pokemaster]

Having spent all the time that she had in the Volco Caves, Tori would decide to head out of the caves and into Volco. As she walks along, she would hear the sound of something from above her. Pointing the flashlight of her pokegear up at it, she would see that it was coming from a pair of level 29 Golbat. As the light hits them however, the Golbat would swoop in to attack them. " Pika-chan and Tama-kun let's go." Tori says as she releases her Pikachu and Minjumaru to the field to fend them off. " Pika-chan get things started with a Thunderbolt and Tama-kun use Shell Blade on the other." Pika would run forward at the swarming Golbat as she charges up her electricity, releasing a volt of electricity onto her target, shocking it with the bolt, dealing 190 damage, fainting it.

*Pika gained 218 xp
Tama gained 218 xp
Tama grew to lv 28*

The remaining Golbat would then attack with Confuse Ray, causing its eyes to flash in front of Tama, confusing him. Tama confused from the attack would then stumble around, looking for his target and would run into a nearby wall, hurting himself (Tama 69/77) " Pika-chan get it with your Thunderbolt." Tori says as Pika would jump between Golbat and Tama releasing a volt of electricity onto Golbat, shocking it, dealing 190 damage, fainting it.

*Pika gained 218 xp
Pika grew to lv 44
Tama gained 218 xp
Tama grew to lv 29
Tama learned Aqua Jet, forgetting Water Gun.*

" That was a great job covering for Tama-kun Pika-chan, you were a great help. Now are you alright Tama-kun?" Tori asks as Tama would shake his head, clearing his head before giving her a cry that he's alright. " That's good to know, now how about we get moving out of here and to Volco?" Both pokemon would agree with her as they head back out of the Abandoned mine and through the exit of the Volco Caves.
