(Intro)

With a new adventure on the horizon, Team Journey will face their greatest challenge ahead. Will they survive, or will they find it too big for them.

(Sara Pov)

"Team Journey! Team Journey!" A voice rang, getting us all to be aware. We were relaxing and resting in our home, until we heard the ring of a familiar Pokemon. Getting up we all headed out, seeing Lillipup there. With a very worried look.

'What's wrong Lillipup?" I say to the young Pokemon as I lean in very curious. We all waited for a long time, until finally he talked.

"Listen," Lillipup said catching his breath. "Dad wants you!"

"Can't he just come himself?" Grant questioned at the side.

"It's very important, please!"

"Of course!" I said, getting happy about what is going to happen. With a big smile on my face, I smelled another quest coming.

(Grant Pov)

As we were headed forward, we walked inside of his home and saw Stoutland, getting worried himself.

"Finally, your team is here!"

"Yep!" I said to him with a smile. "My team is here!"

"You're team." Ty said at my side as I laugh.

"What is it Stoutland?" Sara said walking forward. He gave out a long sigh and talked to us.

"Sadly, it's a missing Pokemon."

"No!" Sara said gasping as he continued.

"He is a painter, his name is Smeargle. He is... well a Smeargle. He usually travels out, painting portraits of the land. Only this time, he hasn't returned. I am worried, and so is his friends. I will want you lot to go to his last known location, and find him."

"You got it!" Sara said happily, as I figured this was gonna be a boring mission. Looking? Is that all I am going to do on this quest. "Where is it?"

"The Gravelled Canyon." He said simply as I smirked to Ty.

"Yeah, Gravelled Canyon, you know where that is? Right, huh Ty?"

"Why do you have to be... you." He said glaring at me not very happy.

"You can count on us Stoutland! We will nail this mission and bring him back!" Sara said with a smile, until finally Shaun spoke up.

"Um... I don't know where that is either?"

"Come to think of it, I've heard the name but never been there."

"It's in the heart of the region, quite the travel. Most Pokemon stay away from it, due to it's landscape."

"And why would Smeargle want to paint a picture there?" I questioned as I don't get it.

"He's a painter, of course he would try." Sara replied, "We can go there as soon as we leave."

"Good, the reward is 5 gold."

"Woo!" Ty said happily. "We can buy more with that!

"Yeah... maybe another scarf?" I said, giving him a joking smile. I really have been annoying him with that, it's kind of funny. I know it's useful, but still.

"The reward isn't what we want, saving Smeargle is. Let's go!"

(Ty Pov)

"Geez, I can get it why Pokemon don't want to be here. Look at this place!" I shout around. The whole place, just a gravel desert. It was stupid, and boring. I was standing on a gravel hill, and could see nothing but gravel. Which does not seem to be good right now, considering the size of this place and the one Pokemon we are looking for. "We aren't gonna find anything guys."

"Come on! Don't give up!" Sara replied as I slid down the hill to her. "There is four of us and... we just need to keep looking."

"Yeah," I say rolling my eyes to her. "Sure there is a cave around here, or... obviously not. I'm so sad. I was looking forward to using my scarf."

"You mean the one you bought with your girlfriend?" She teased as I glared right at her.

"Seriously, don't you start. We are just friends."

"Sure." She said smiling as I roll my eyes. "Let's just keep looking."

And so we did, we kept looking, more and more until finally, it would seem it was useless. We were seeing nothing of note and everything looked the same. We gave up eventually, getting bored as Grant has retired, but we were still trying.

It was getting dark, and it was clear we weren't gonna find something.

Someone who did though, was Grant. Sitting on top of the hill, he was able to see something that the rest of us did not.

"Hey! Can you come up here!" He shouted while standing. "I think i've found something!"

Considering the whole time, we found nothing we all moved up. Standing on the hill as the sun was going down. We all went together as he pointed forward.

"Look, don't you think that bit of gravel is a bit more... grey than the rest."

"You called us up here for that?" Shaun questioned as Sara smiled.

"This will be our final look. Let's go!" Sara said, obviously holding onto any sign she could. We all moved down and surrounded the slightly more grey spot.

"This is stupid, it's more grey so what?" I question over this. Sara looked onto the spot, until finally she got an idea.

Moving over she ran to Grant and grabbed his branch. Tossing it down and throwing it onto the gravel. We all watched as it sunk down under and got lost.

"Hey!"

"So, I was wrong." I say cutting Grant off. "It's sinking... gravel, what's so special about it?"

"Hm... I'm thinking." She replied back wondering "Maybe...we should jump in ourselves."

"Yeah, no." I said crossing my arms. "We don't know what's on the other side."

"Than we will lower ourselves down. Ty give me your tail." Sara said as I saw what she was doing. She grabbed onto it as she walked back onto the gravel. She started sink, more and more until finally she was under. I could still feel her pull so she was fine.

It didn't end though, as she kind of pulled me down. I get dragged down as I was sinking. For a long time until finally I felt Shaun grab my arm I could not see anything as we kept falling down and down, until finally we passed through.

I dropped down and landed onto firm ground, now with gravel in my face as I was confused. Sara was smiling like a winner next to me. I was gonna ask her a question, until I fell Shaun land down onto me, followed by Grant who was at the end.

"Well, this is familiar." I said with a deadpanned as Sara laughed.

"I knew there was a secret passage, look above! The gravel is being held!"

"We looked up, seeing just that. The other two got off me as I had to comment. "Well, at least it's something else. You think Smeargle is down here?"

"I know he is. Come on, let's go." Sara said lighting a flame and walking ahead. Seeing no reason not to we all follow our leader.

(Sara Pov)

Needless to say, I was excited. It was like an adventure! Unexplored terrain! We could find something no other Pokemon has found. As I led the group with my light, I kept my eye out for anything special, so it was natural I walked up to the walls.

"Wow, look at this marble, it seems ancient." I commented as Grant walked up, breathing in and blowing dust around. Of course this covered us all as I frowned with him.

"Hehe, sorry and... hey what's this?" Grant said. I looked and turns out, he did something good. It was letters, but I didn't recognise them at all. In fact they all seemed foreign.

"This place clearly is very old, we should be careful not to break anything. Pokemon Archeologists would love this place!" I said to them as Ty rolled his eyes. However when he was doing this, something happened as he spotted it.

"Hey! Look it's the Lunar Wing!" He shouted running to the wall and pointing. We all looked, seeing a carving of a feather falling from the moon."

"See, I told you it was special!"

"Yeah, it's on a wall, real special." Grant said as I could see that Ty was ready to attack.

"Let's keep going guys, we could try to decipher it but it would be a waste of time." I say leading them. We all walked away further.

(Shaun Pov)

As we made our way through, we eventually reached a giant lake, with a open cave system on the other side.

"Guess we are swimming." Ty said, lifting his tail and getting in. I followed of course, seeing no problem as I jumped in. I did however see the problem as I was under.

"It's still? Almost like it's just been sitting here for years." I commented as Grant jumped in as well. Sara jumping onto Ty's tail as she was not a fan of water in general.

It was shallow, so we made our way across. The others walked, while I swam up ahead and saw what was in the way. As I was under though, something caught my eye. I just had to detour and check it out. Swimming to the corner, it was like a rock, but out of place and flat? Using my tail much like Ty, I lifted it up. I saw the other get to the other side as I make my way.

"What's up with the detour Shaun?" Grant questioned as I lifted the it into view. Grant and Ty helping to lift it out of the water. They let it onto the ground as well all looked at it.

"What is it?" I questioned/

"If I were to guess," Sara started. "Looks like a fossil?"

"It is," Ty spoke up as well. "But of what Pokemon? We taking it?"

"Better than it just laying there." Grant added as it was seemingly decided.

(Ty Pov)

"And why, am I carrying it!" I questioned to the Pokemon ahead of me.

"Cause you have a tail, and I have the flame." Sara said as that was fair for her, but not for the other two. As we made our way through the caves, it got darker and darker, seeing nothing beyond the flame light.

We keep moving and going through as there was nothing for a long time, it just seemed to be an endless hall.

However, a voice said that got us concerned.

"I-I-Ice B-Beam!" A high pitched voice shuttered, we were all concerned and looked around, until we saw the bright blue beam from in front. Grant who was it's target dodged out of the way as the beam hit the ground, and a giant tower came from it."

"Woah!"

"We aren't alone?!" Shaun questioned.

"Seems not." I say as well.

"That was a power-"

"I-I-Ice B-Beam!" The voice said again, this time firing an even more powerful one at us. We dodge as I than head over, dropping the fossil.

"Swift!" I shout, shooting around, and with the scarf they fired so much faster. I could hear the attack hit, but it didn't seem to matter.

"I-I-Ice B-Beam!" It said again with the stutter, firing it again as I dodged. Now I was locked in with the attack.

"I think we should run!" Shaun said grabbing the fossil and lifting it with his own tail. "Come on!"

"Whatever it is, it's strong. Let's run!" Sara said as she turned, just in time for another attack to almost hit us.

"I-I-Ice B-Beam!" It shouted, but we all dodged it. We ran away and we were not sure the thing was even chasing us. We lost interest though, cause our interest was forced somewhere else.

"G-Gyro Ball!" A voice shouted, this time ahead of us and much more distorted. Barely able to make it out as it came. A giant flying silver ball came right to us as we jumped out of the way. The explosion was big, and sent us flying around.

"Another one!?" Grant questioned as it seemed that way.

I-I-Ice B-Beam!" It shouted from the other side. The high pitched one shooting at us as I narrowly dodged.

"They got us pincered!" I shouted to everyone, seeing the situation.

"Stay together and just start firing!" Our leader said as we listened to her. All of us started to fire our attacks. Swift, Ember, Razor Leaf and Water Gun. The stars and water hitting the ice firing one, and the fire and the leaves hitting the water. We were all back to back, making sure we were fine and had our bases covered.

We did, until a light noise happened and it made us logically jump around. It sounded like a big crash, but what does that mean?

"Ancient P-P-P-Power!" Another voice shouted, this one sounding so low and so monotone.

"Rocks incoming!" I shouted as we all dodged the boulders landing around us. We were all on edge, as we had no idea what was happening.

"Another one?" Sara questioned as were than bombarded by attacks.

"G-Gyro Ball!"

"I-I-Ice B-Beam!"

"Ancient P-P-P-Power!"

We were sent an attack by all sides as we did our best to dodge, but found that we could not dodge. Grant took it the worst, taking a boulder and having it shove him into the wall.

"Grant!"

"That's it." I say, ripping off the scarf and throwing it to the side. I needed a special move for this. Now with no speed I run to the ice firing and plan to launch my attack back.

"Fire Punch!" I say, lighting my tail. Due to training with Sara, it hurt far less. Still hurt though, but I don't care. He's gotta pay.

I launched my fire move at the Ice Pokemon ready to damage. As it turns out though, the attack hit what felt like a wall. Now with the flame and the distance so close, I could see one of the Pokemon that was attacking us.

"Regice?"

"Re-Regice." It replied back, lighting up as I jumped right back. I jumped back joining the others. Quickly piecing it together what the other two are.

We are fighting the three Regi! Regice, Registeel and Regirock!"

"They're legendaries!" I shout as Sara instantly understood what that meant.

"Legendaries! What! Here!" She said just as shocked.

"W-We can't beat legendaries guys." Shaun said just as panicked.

That is crystal clear, as they came closer we saw the three giant golems right in front of us. I doubt the four of us could even take one of these Pokemon. Regice didn't even flinch from my attack.

This is not good.

(Outro)

Now facing off with three legendaries, how will our four heroes fair, will they find the lost Smeargle, and what else in this cave?
