I guess I'll meet up with them in Scarlet Town,where the 2nd Gym Crimson Path was given it's name for the rich,crimson clay in the had a few Rawst Berry trees,
with shiny,sparkling dusty rose colored leaves and sweet,unripe green Rawst berries.
Unripe Rawst berries,which were a lot more common in Akaline,tasted better,and were often used in contests,but couldn't heal burns as well as ripe halfway down the path,I saw what Khris had heard weird looking people were exploring in the abandoned mine near the path,which had pokemon fossils in mine was abandoned because it was "cursed" and several ghost pokemon lived within it.I walked up to the nearest uniformed person.
"Hey,you!Don't you know this mine is abandoned?" I called.
"Get out." the uniformed person said,glaring at me.
"What're you doing here anyway?" I asked.
"That's ,get out and quit meddling." the uniformed man said again,this time reaching for a pokeball.
"No.I want answers." I said simply.
"That's it!Quilava,Flamethrower!" the man commanded,sending out a Quilava,which spewed was going to kill me,and burn all the evidence...and I couldn't do anything,It was too late.
"Watch out!" a voice cried from ,the Quilava was gone,and the grunt had run off,and I was unharmed.I looked up to see an 18 year old pokemon trainer,dressed in had an accent that sounded like he was from Kanto.
"You alright,kid?" he asked.
"You're Red!Kanto's champion from two years ago!When I was a little kid,I adored you!You were my hero!" I carried on.
"O...k...Well,these people are known as Team 're a dangerous,rutheless gang that uses pokemon for I hadn't been here,you would have been burnt into a people aren't affraid to kill weak trainers." Red explained.
"Well,I have pokemon...he just caught me off gaurd." I explained.
"Well,Ok...I don't know what they want,but it can't be good...we should split up." Red told me,before speeding off down the left tunnel.
"Guess I'm going right then." I said to myself,before starting down the right tunnel,which lead to 9 other tunnels.I had no idea where to go,and I was ambushed.
"Arcanine,Fire Blast!" a nameless female grunt cried,sending out an Arcanine.
"Houdini,Night Shade!" I said,sending out the Fire Blast missed Houdini and me,but hit a rock,causing the center tunnel,the 5th one,to nobody was in Night Shade hit the Arcanine hard,and I think it was a critical hit,because the Arcanine had lost half of it's health.
"Arcanine,Burn the pokemon and the trainer!Leave no witnesses!" the female grunt cired.
"Houdini,Night Shade!" I Fire Blast missed again,but Houdini's Night Shade KO'd the grunt had no other pokemon and Houdini and I had cornered her.
"I don't want to hurt you,but I will if I have to,so spill the beans." I said simply.
"We're here,looking for Archen fossils...we're planning on building an army of prehistoric pokemon and taking over the world!" she explained,terrified.
"Well...whatever-your-name is...you don't have to be a part of this can come clean,and I won't turn you in." I told her.
"You're right...thanks.I'm going home now." she said,returning her fainted Arcanine and walking out of the mine.
"I'm glad I helped somebody today...too bad I had to threaten her though...Wish I didn't have to do that..." I spoke to Houdini,deciding to keep him out of his ball.I walked down the rightmost tunnel,before being attacked again,this time being a grunt with a Flareon,who apparently was running the operation.
"Flareon...destroy him!Flamethrower!" he cried.
"Houdini,try to Night Shade!" I hit Houdini head on,and took off half of his Night Shade doing the same thing to the Flareon,which was rather weak.
"Again,Flareon!" the grunt commanded.
"Houdini...Night Shade!" I called to the attacks collided in mid-air,causing an explosion...the tunnel started collapsing.
"Flareon,Return!We have to get out!"The grunt said.
"Wait,take my hand!My Natu can Teleport!" I said,grabbing the grunt and commanding Houdini to seconds,we were outside.
"Fool!Why did you risk your own life to save mine?" The grunt asked,confused,but not violent.
"It's the right thing to do...I've made mistakes in the past,and I intend to make things right again." I said,walking off from the scene,heading towards Scarlet Town,and my second gym badge.
