[attr="class","axscroll"]This was Axel's chance to get into a pretty big Pokemon battle. Even though the Graverler was clearly out numbered, and also had a disadvantage being asleep. A grin formed on his face as he prepared to start yelling out commands to Holly. However, the battle was over before it even started. The Ranger guide caught the Graverler before anyone could even make a move. It took a moment for Axel's brain to process what had happened. "WHAT? Aw come on!" He exclaimed. Axel didn't even get in on the action, why'd the Ranger have to go and ruin it all? Although, it looked as though the other two didn't care, and proceeded to continue onward. Even Holly was a little disappointed, her nose scrunched up as she nudged Axel to go on and catch up with the group. He grumbled to himself and followed behind the two others and the Ranger, wondering how the battle would have gone if it continued.
Eventually, the group stopped in front of a wall. "I swear I'll kill them, every single one of them, with a swift tail jab. Who am I?" Axel paused and blinked at the question. What kind of riddle was this? It seemed nearly impossible to him. How many Pokemon were aggressive and had tails? ... Well he didn't know the exact number, but there was definitely a lot. The brown haired boy seemed to be thinking about the question. When Axel turned around to look at the grey haired boy, he seemed to be deep in thought. He suggested a Cinccino. Whatever the hell that was. But Axel wasn't buying it. There was no way he could think of an answer that fast, right?
"I dunno, that Pokemon kinda sounds too calm." Axel stated, tilting his head and looking at the wall in thought. "It kinda sounds aggressive. It's swearing it'll kill everything, right?" In his mind, the Pokemon had to have a strong tail and a pretty aggressive nature. But of course, Axel lacked a lot of Pokemon knowledge, so no specie name came to mind. "Is there like a Dark or Poison type with a lot of tails and is aggressive?" Axel asked, turning around to face the other two Trainers in the group.
Dylan felt a bit stupid after saying his answer. There are so many more fierce Pokémon out there and he picked Cinccino. "Uh. . . I'd like to take my answer back." He muttered quietly rubbing the back of his head just a tad bit embarrassed. The Pokémon had to be Dark or Poison typed or so the group said anyway. Dylan knew the perfect Pokémon for that them.
"So unless Cinccino can kill with its looks then I guess it's a understandable answer right?" Dylan said jokingly and then cleared his throat. "My real answer is Drapion! With a tail like that it can kill just about anything and everything swiftly." He added, more proud of his new answer.
Magma Armor - Lv.06 - Healthy Slugma provides Heat and Light!
the correct answer was seviper. and at least one member got it right. so terry opened up the wall to reveal a narrow passage. he led the group into it.
it was dark and damp as they made their way into a larger room. at least they had a slugma to illuminate the way. the slugma revealed a lake in the middle. a pokemon suddenly burst out of the lake and shot a gush of water at the group!
the group encounters an unknown pokemon defeat the pokemon!
[attr="class","axscroll"]The grey haired boy seemed to be quick to change his mind. It didn't matter though, the brown haired one had gotten the answer right instead. Well, at least Axel helped. As the ranger guided the trio through the cave, Axel lagged slightly behind with Holly in tow. The exploration seemed a little quiet for the most part, but he guessed that's what he was gonna get for signing up to be in a random group. It wasn't like he really knew anyone either to invite. Axel locked his hands behind his head and continued forward with everyone else.
Once they entered the larger and darker room, Axel let his arms down and looked around, turning and walking backwards to admire the view. "Wow, this is pretty cool." Axel stated, turning himself around and walking forward again. Soon enough, the Sluga revealed a giant lake in the middle of the room. And it wasn't before long something jumped out of the water, sending a strong gush of water at the three. Axel yelped and covered his head with his arms, being knocked back by the water. He managed to get himself upright and on his feet before making impact with the wall. Axel shook his head, running his hands through his now drenched hair. "Holly, Growl at it!" He called out. He had no idea what Pokemon that was, so having learned from experience, head charging it wasn't a good idea.
The Chespin ran up and took a breath, growling cutely at the Pokemon and hoping to reduce it's attack before it could deal some real damage.

THE TRUTH SHALL SHINE UPON EVERYTHING EVENTUALLY. . .
Dylan didn't know if he was right, but he assumed one of them got it and happily moved on. Could behind this door be a hidden secret? One with money to make the group of four survive their entire life without having to lift a finger to work? Or a super strong Pokémon that could crush anyone who stepped against them. Either one was fine for Dylan.
The room was just like the hallway before dark and dank, but this time Dylan has his trusty Slugma to help him see, and provide some nice warmth. Sadly there was no treasure, nor some super strong Pokémon, just a boring old lake. "Well this is nice." Dylan said to no one in particular as he stared at the lake. "Pretty lake." He added and tried squinting to see if any Pokémon inhabited the water. Suddenly something had burst out of the water, shooting a beam of water directly at the group. Dylan rolled out of the way and unclipped a Pokéball from his belt, sending out his Elekid. "This guy should work, if it used Water Beam it must be a water type." Dylan thought to himself, and then had his Elekid shoot two Thunder Shocks at the Pokémon.
Slugma provides Light and Warmth!
Elekid used Thunder Shock! Elekid used Thunder Shock again!
the pokemon managed to leap out of the water before the lightning attacks hit him. the slugma illuminated the way to reveal a shuckle! without any hesitation he rolled towards the elekid.
[attr="class","axscroll"]A Shuckle? That thing was basically a snail in a shell. A very, very thick shell. Weren't those things known for it's... physical defense. Of course. Damn, he really needed Pokemon who had special attacks, didn't he? He shouldn't panic now though. Holly had a decent chance against that thing, right? She recently learned Rollout, and that meant Holly had some sort of advantage. Damn, he really needed to get Holly some ranged moves or something.
The Shuckle made its move and withdrew into its shell, rolling quickly towards the Elekid. Okay, that wasn't good. The Shuckle definitely seemed stronger than any of his Pokemon, and Axel wasn't sure if the other two Trainers had anything stronger on them or not. Axel wasn't going to take any chances with Holly. If she went down then that was bad news. "Holly, keep growling at it for now until we get an opening!" Axel called out.
Holly seemed a little disappointed that she wasn't going to get right in there and fight, but she obeyed. She growled at the Shuckle, hoping to lower it's attack so it couldn't do anything until she got an opening.

WHEN I WAKE UP, I'M AFRAID, SOMEBODY ELSE MIGHT TAKE MY PLACE...
Dylan was shocked to see the Shuckle, that was definitely not a Water Type Pokémon. "The hell is that?" He muttered taking his PokéDex out of his pocket, flipping it over quickly and scanning the Pokémon. "Come on PokéDex, give me something good!" He said hopefully and awaited the analysis.
"Shuckle, The Mold Pokémon, Shuckle quietly hides itself under rocks, keeping its body concealed inside its hard shell while eating berries it has stored away. The berries mix with its body fluids to become a juice."
"Uh. . . That's a bit gross. . . Don't think I'll drink juice for a while." Dylan muttered to himself, before shaking his head. "Focus, focus." He added and then pointed at the incoming Shuckle. "Take it and use two Thunder Shocks again!"
Magma Armor - Lv.06 - Healthy Slugma provides Heat and Light!
Static - lv.09 - Moderately Healthy Elekid used Thunder Shock! Elekid used Thunder Shock!
the shuckle tries to dodge the status lowering moves by jumping back into the lake. big mistake. the elekid shocks the entire lake up! shuckle fainted and let out a cry before sinking into the bottom of the lake.
terry clapped his hands and shined his flashlight at a nearby sign. he reads, "don't fuckle with the shuckle."
he led them out of the cave and towards the gift shop. he bid them farewell and thanked them for being such a great team.
