Round 29 of Colosseum Chapter, this story has come quite a mile, eh? I'm so proud of it *sniff*
Book 3: Colosseum Chapter
Round 29: Vs. Suicune 1
"Amber, are you okay?" Spinal called down the mineshaft Amber had fallen down.
"I'm fine, just a little dirty. Oh and a few bumps and bruises, nothing serious" Amber called from down below. "It's quite dark though, could you throw down a torch or something?"
"Here" Spinal tossed down a torch for Amber to use. "What can you see down there?"
"Well I can see a bruise I received from the torch hitting me in the head, but besides that- whoa!" Amber cried out in surprise.
"What is it?" Rui called.
"Um, you're not going to believe it, but I see numbers of slaves working around the clock" Amber described.
"What? I'm coming down" Spinal said. He then turned to Rui. "Rui, you should stay here with the vehicles"
"No, I'm coming with you" she firmly replied.
"Please Rui, I have a feeling this is gonna be dangerous" Spinal said.
"No, I'm coming. The answer will be the same everytime" Rui said. Spinal thought for awhile, then;
"Okay Amber, Rui and I are coming down now" Spinal said, grappling onto a rock nearby and lowering himself down the mineshaft slowly. Then, once down the shaft next to Amber, he released his Noctowl and sent it up to Rui.
"Rui, fly down here on Noctowl" Spinal said.
"Okay" Rui replied, climbing onto Noctowl's back and slowly descending into the mineshaft. Once she had touched onto the ground, the three trainers walked through a small hole in the wall and came face to face with an underground city.
"Wow, what is this place?" Amber wondered out loud.
"This is the underground place I read about, the old mining shaft that the miners turned into an underground city, The Under, built underneath Pyrite Town for mining, abandoned by everyone but the miners" Rui educated.
"Wow. So who are those slaves?" Amber wondered.
"The slaves aren't slaves, they're Cipher grunts doing their daily work!" Spinal realised.
"So... we're in a Cipher base?" Rui shakily wondered.
"I guess" Amber said.
"We have to get rid of the Cipher people here!" Rui declared.
"Of course, we have to give the miners their homes back!" Amber said. In a tall building a bit away from were Rui, Amber and Spinal were, a pink clothed girl and a professor with glasses were talking to the same person Miror B was talking to before, Nascour.
"Venus, Ein is everything in The Under going according to plan?" Nascour asked.
"Yes Master Nascour, everything is going according to plan. We have distributed Shadow Pokemon to at least half the population of The Under" Venus said.
"Ein, is your research going well?" Nascour asked.
"Yes it is, we have recorded sufficient data about Shadow Pokemon's battle patterns. XD001, my shadow masterpiece, shall be ready soon enough" Ein said.
"Good. I will be waiting for more good news" and Nascour was gone. Ein then turned towards the door.
"Now, it is time for me to return to my lab to put the finishing touches on my masterpiece" Ein then walked out the door and down the hallway, signalled to his guard.
"Come, let us go back to the lab" and they were off.
...
"This is a very... interesting place" Rui said, hiding in an alleyway with Amber and Spinal, as some Cipher Peon's went by. "We have to find the Cipher admin in charge of here, the places we've been to so far have all had a Cipher Admin in charge, so this place must as well"
"Yeah, We should split up and find- never mind" Amber started, before Venus came out of a building and walked in the middle of a circle of Cipher Peon's.
"What's the work progress rate?" Venus asked.
"Very good ma'm. now more than 78% of the residents of The Under have Shadow Pokemon. There's still that nosy KidGrid Network to get rid of though" a Peon informed.
"Interesting. Well then, I want half of you to split yourselfs up into 2 groups and each group go help out at 1 colosseum. The other half come with me to the KidsGrid" Venus instructed.
"Not so fast" Amber growled, coming out of the shadows of the alleyway him, Spinal and Rui were hiding in. "I won't let you get to them!"
"And who would you be?" Venus smirked.
"The name's Amber. And I'll be the obstacle you'll have to get past to get to the KidsGrid!" Amber declared.
"Add another layer!" Spinal said, sending out Hariyama and standing next to Amber.
"Aah, I know who blue jacket is. Spinal, you've been quite a nuisance to Cipher lately, so I might even get a promotion if I beat you" Venus said.
"You won't beat him though, 'cause I'll be battling with him!" Amber said.
"Oh, that's were you're familiar from. My younger sister Lovrina lost to you in one of our work stations. Well then, if I beat you, she'll be pleased with me and so will Cipher. Double win then. Suicune!" Venus called out her Legendary dog Pokemon, Suicune. Amber's Aura Reader immediately reacted to Suicune, as did Rui as she ran out of the shadow of the alleyway.
"It's a Shadow Pokemon!" Amber and Rui both cried out.
"Suicune, Surf!" Venus shrieked. Suicune swamped the area with water, washing away all the Peons and Rui. Spinal grappled up onto the roof of a nearby building, while Amber grabbed onto a nearby pole and held tight.
"So this *Glbl* is the power of a Legendary Pokemon" Amber gurgled.
So there it is. Shorter than the last one, but the last one was the longest round so far.
