Chapter 12: The Union Cave Run. Night of the 72 Days Left.

"Wow, where are we now?" asked Silver.

"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO RAN INTO THE CAVE," yelled Haru, but then suddenly, a bunch of Zubat started to chase after them.

"Ah," said Clara.

"Go Growlithe, use your Ember attack," said Gold having Growlithe shoot out small flames from its mouth.

Then a loud screech from the Zubat made Growlithe teeter back and forth.

"That's Supersonic," said Silver.

"A powerful one too," said Haru.

"Go Vulpix use your Ember," said Clara using Vulpix to shoot out small flames to hit all the Zubat away.

"Return Growlithe," said Gold.

"Let's run!" said Silver as the group runs deeper in the cave.

As they stop due to exhaustion, they could not even see each other in the dark.

"Guys, can you see?" asked Haru.

"Go Cyndaquil," said Silver using Cyndaquil's back to light the place up.

"Um, I think it's better to just keep the lights out," said Gold.

"Why?" asked Clara.

"BECAUSE OF ONIX," said Gold pushing everyone to run and pointing to it.

"Go Wooper use your Water Gun," said Silver as Wooper shoots out a powerful blast of water from its mouth hitting the Onix.

"The Onix didn't feel a thing from it," said Haru watching as Onix chases after them.

"Go Mareep," said Silver, "Use your Iron Tail."

Mareep quickly jumps and light gathers around the tail of Mareep making it look like it was covered in a steel substance hitting Onix.

"Still nothing," said Clara.

"Go Hoppip use your Giga Drain," said Haru as Hoppip started to sap away Onix's energy.

Then suddenly Hoppip starts to glow, "Hoppip is evolving," said Gold.

POKEDEX Skiploom: The Cottonweed Pokémon: The evolved form of Hoppip: It spreads its pedals to absorb sunlight. It also floats in the air to get closer to the sun. END

"Skiploom use your Leech Seed," said Haru as a seed from the top of Skiploom's head lands on Onix wrapping around it sapping its energy to collapse.

"Ok, let's go and get out of here," said Silver.

"It feels like we have been in this cave forever, I'm exhausted and hungry," said Gold.

"Now then we have to make some more food," said Clara taking out her cooking supplies in the cave.

"Um, I think it would be better if we had a sort of a cave," said Haru.

"Gold use your Growlithe," said Silver.

"Yep, go Growlithe and use Dig on that wall," said Gold as Growlithe makes a hole in the wall to keep everyone warm.

"Yes that's good," said Clara.

The group settled down in the cave eating food and trying to decide on what is next.

"So we have no clue where the exit is right," said Haru.

"Well, Silver don't you have Onix with you?" asked Gold.

"Yes, but it's at Professor Elm's because I didn't have room on my team, but I think I could ask him right now," said Silver taking out his Pokegear.

On the other line Professor Elm picked up, "Yes, hello," he said sounding very tired.

"Hi Professor," said Silver.

"Do you know what time it is? This better be important," he said.

"Um, yes I need to borrow my Onix and send you Togepi," Silver said.

"Togepi?" said Professor Elm.

"Yep, the egg hatched," said Silver.

"Really send it over," said Professor Elm all excited.

Silver pressed a button on his Pokedex sending over the two Pokémon and the Pokeball containing Togepi disappeared and Onix's Pokeball appeared.

"Thank you Professor," said Silver, but Professor Elm had already hung up probably just checking out Togepi in detail.

"Ok Onix go," said Silver bringing out Onix.

"Onix looks strong," said Gold.

"Well we can use it to find a way out right?" said Haru.

"Yes, probably even find out a lot more things," said Clara.

"Ok Onix, show us the way out," said Silver as Onix quickly moved to pick up the gang and moved through the cave.

The group managed to get out of the cave alive and the sun was shining bright before they realized it.

"WE SPENT THE WHOLE NIGHT IN THE CAVE, I am so sleepy now," said Silver.

"It's better if we rest at the Pokémon Centre for at least the rest of the day from all the sleep missed," said Gold.

"B-b-but what about the days until the Pokémon League," said Silver.

"We shouldn't rush it, there is still lots of time left," said Haru.

"I mean 70 days left would be a lot of time," said Clara as the group walk to the Pokémon Centre.
