Luca looked at me, and nodded.
"This cave is filled with angry Pokémon, so be ready to fight your way through." He said as I helped him stand again.
"Well we just have to use our determination to get through." I reply with a smile, and began to walk towards entrance of the cave with Luca in my wake.
We did find a few Poké as Luca called it is a currency here. We went a bit further in and encountered a Shellder, and Corsola.
'Battle time!' I thought as I readied myself for a fight.
Shellder wasted no time, and attacked me with his body. I dived to my right effectively dodging Shellder's tackle, and quickly returned a force palm to Shellder. Corsola followed suit and attacked using water gun on Luca. Luca had been too busy worrying about my fight with Shellder to notice, so he was hit hard by the attack.
"Focus on yourself, I can handle this opponent!" I shout to Luca, as I dodge another tackle from Shellder.
'I feel so light it's as if I'm made of air.' I think as I backflip away from Shellder. I charge at Shellder and use feint landing a quick punch on the side of his shell, and sending him sliding against the floor to the other side of the room unconscious. Luca now focused on his own fight charges at Corsola, who uses water gun again. Luca stopped running and jumped over the stream of water that flew his way.
Good he seems focused now.' I think as Luca lands bringing his claws down on Corsola with a fury swipes, and dealing a good amount of damage. Before Luca attacked again Corsola used tackle on him, but unknown to both me and Corsola it had attacked a substitute created while Luca had jumped. The Luca in front of it smirked before exploding like a smoke bomb, and the real Luca stood behind it with a dark sphere floating between his paws. He smiled before releasing the shadow ball into the back of Corsola's head, "Try a bit harder next time." He said as Corsola collapsed in a heap on the other side of the room.
"Sorry, that I made you worry about me." He said giving me a smile.
"I expected you to be able to fight, but what was that?" I asked dumbfounded. "I mean you wouldn't need help dealing with those two if you fight like you just did."
"I don't know it's just when I'm in a dungeon I tend to act differently, and especially when I'm motivated to protect someone." Luca said as he walked towards me.
"Eat an Oran berry, making a substitute takes a toll on your body."
"You know for someone who has amnesia you know a lot about fighting, and you could even tell I used substitute." I shrugged at Luca's suggestion, he pulled out an Oran berry and are it. With that little battle out the way we walked further into the dungeon, and found Zubat and Koffing.
"Give me m-my treasure back!" Luca shouted as we entered the last room of beach cave. Zubat just smiled, and Koffing moved his body side-to-side as if he were scolding a child for playing too loud. 'No surprise here they don't plan to return his stone without a fight.' Zubat looked at Luca then to me and began, "Scaredy managed to get this far deep with a friend, and just for a painted on stone. We'll return it if you answer this riddle, sound fair?" Both Luca and I nodded to accept his deal. "Good he continued, so the riddle is: What's black, red, cobalt and unconscious? Simple, right?
I looked at Luca and looked at me both of us uncertain as to what the answer was, and then it came to me. 'Luca is black and red, and I'm cobalt well blue at least.' I thought. "Zubat is the answer, us? It is isn't it." I shouted annoyed at their little joke.
"Bingo!" Both Zubat and Koffing cried out.
With their game, over with they attacked us. Luca took a head on tackle from Koffing, as I backflipped out of the way of Zubat's air cutters. 'Don't tell me Luca's too afraid to fight back.' I thought watching, as suddenly Luca's aura changed from its normal light blue to a crimson red. Luca body went suddenly ridge before he launched himself at Koffing, and hit him with fury swipes. Finishing of the attack with a shadow ball from above. 'He wasn't kidding about that change in personality.' I thought as Zubat attacked again with air cutters, but before I could even react Luca was in front of me.
"Now who needs to stay focused?" Luca asked, as he grabbed me and jumped out of the attack. After landing he quickly placed me down, and turned to face Zubat. The crimson aura swelled around Luca's arms, and began to vibrate violently. "Now for my signature move," Luca swung his right arm downwards sending the aura around it at Zubat, and quickly followed it up with another swing from his left arm. The two shock waves of crimson aura combined, as they made contact with Zubat sending him into the far wall forming a crater twice his size. "Night daze."
Luca turned to look at Koffing as it shook the dirt from its body. "Where is my treasure?" Luca asked deepening his voice, and using his illusion ability to increase his size to a threatening level. "It's right here," Koffing wheezes as he drops a small bag in front of Luca. "just leave us alone."
Where did that bag come from, and how did he move it? I wonder, as Luca picks up the bag and disperses his illusion. We had left the pair to themselves, and walked out onto the beach without much resistance from any feral Pokémon.
Once we were out of the cave I turned to Luca and asked, "Where was this power earlier?" Luca fell to his knees before he could reply, and ended up laying face first in the sand.
"Luca don't tell me you used up too much energy in there."
"It seems that I still can't use Night daze to its full extent. Do you have still have that Oran berry you found on you, because I could really use one." Luca asked with a light hearted laugh.
"Sure I do," I reply placing the Oran berry in Luca's mouth. "but how do you plan on finding my family?" I continued as Luca chewed on the Oran berry, and instantly became filled with energy. Luca stood up and walked ahead towards the other side of the beach. "We should head to town and try asking if there have been any reports of a missing riolu. Maybe with you there I could build up the courage to join the guild." Luca explained.
"This guild what type of guild is it?"
"The guild is world famous they accept all kinds of request from finding lost items to saving a village." Luca replied before getting lost in a daydream. 'If my parents are looking for me would they let me join the guild with Luca? I hope so, but there is only one way to find out.'
"Off to the Guild we go!"
I need to know if you readers want to read about the filler request/missions and the training the team will go through. I've made a poll for it so please submit an answer there, so that I know what to write.
