Early the next morning, Arlon jumped awake to the sound of a voice. "No..." He complained, "Just... let... me... sleep..."

"So he's waking?" Asked a voice.

"Blake?" Arlon opened his eyes to see that it was indeed Blake, but there was something off about him. Axew was awake as well, standing next to Blake.

"I see you're awake now," Said Axew. "I've been waiting."

"Axew, there's something I need to tell you-"

"If you're referring to what happened last night, Blake already told me all about it.

"Oh... kay."

"Let me explain what the team does every day. First, we head over to the request board."

"That board just next to the house that I saw yesterday?"

"How did you see it?" Demanded Blake. "It was nearly pitch-black out there!"

"Hey, we got here just after sunset! Are you still dizzy from that Zorian?"

"Sorry, and yes, I am still dizzy from that encounter."

"As I was saying," said Axew, "We go to the request board and choose a poster from it." Arlon was fidgeting with his sword. "Are you even listening?"

"I hear you loud and clear."

"Uh."

"Didn't see that one coming did you?"

"How do you do that? I mean, how do you fiddle with that sword and listen to me at the same time?"

"I don't know. I just do it. Why don't we have a look at the request board?" They went to the request board.

"Anything catch your eye here?"

"Actually, yes!" Arlon points to a picture on the lower-left corner of the board. "That does!"

"What is that thing?"

"Its a pickax, I believe. never seen one of those before either?"

"No."

"If we go after that, things might get very interesting!"

"You took the words right out of my mouth!" Said Blake.

"It's settled then!" Said Axew. "We go look for this pickax thing." Axew took the poster off the board and, much to Arlon's surprise, they teleported!

"Wha!" exclaimed Arlon. "How did you do that?"

"TM30 teleport." Explained Axew.

"You can learn that?" Arlon's mind remembered how he was suddenly able to use Energy Ball. Maybe TMs were more common than he thought.

"Where are we?" asked Blake. They look around to see a broken castle.
