Chapter 17: back to mainland
Umbreon:
Standing guard outside was confusing to me as I feel I could have been able to do something to help him in there. Eevee was worried so I comforted her and she felt better then she asked "do you think he will win?" I wasn't sure how to answer as this wasn't like the gym battles. So I answered ", he will do his best" she seemed reassured by it. Moments later we saw Mars leave for by a few explosions making Eevee jump. It was clear the battle kept going and when it all died down, Tank walked out and held the ultra ball holding Regirock with a victory smile. He kneeled down and said "saving Regirock was a tough battle and we're fast from finished" I asked "what do we do next?" he answered "we're going to save Device next" he pulled out the file and continued "he is located inside the mountain" I was surprised and kept Eevee close.
Tank:
I recalled all of my Pokémon and walked out to Eevee and Umbreon. After I told them what we were going to do next, I looked up and noticed it was getting dark. The closest place to rest is the resort area and my team need to recover. We made our way to the resort area and it looked peaceful when we arrived. The were buildings that promotes relaxation for people and Pokémon. There was also building that is used for spa and massaging. There was also a big hotel for people and Pokémon to stay in and there's a Pokémon centre to heal Pokémon that have been exhausted from battle, like my team. So I walked to the Pokémon centre where they were healed up but due to exhaustion was held there for the night. Me, Umbreon and Eevee went to the hotel and slept quietly through the night. Every so often if wake up to Eevee sleeping oddly over Umbreon who, surprisingly, didn't even budge while this was happening.
When I woke up, Umbreon and Eevee were still asleep so I left the room to go to the Pokémon centre and got my team, they were all healed up and ready for the next battle. By the time I returned, Umbreon was awake but Eevee was still sleeping, spread out like a star fish with all pass flopped over the edge of here small bed. Umbreon asked "we're after Regice but where is it located?" I say next to Umbreon and took out the file and showed him. I answered "according to Team Galactic's plan, Regice is located near route 216 but we can enter through route 211 and make our way to the ruin, the iceberg ruins. Seems like Team Galactic got the idea to go with this plan when other areas on this mail failed" Umbreon looked confused and so was I. Continuing "the wind works valley, the mine work in Oreburgh city and their HQ in Veilstone city were placed the were searching power to be gathered but the reason to the abandonment of the attempts were not told" alone is confusing why Team Galactic would want to invest in these places but it's even more confusing why the investments would be withdrawn within 3 months after initial purchase. Not all of this is mentioned in the file for the titans, if I had to guess Team Galactic wanted the information to be in a safe place but they probably wasn't expecting the files to all be taken, they were over confident no matter how you look at it. The questions they formed were all boiled down to a key variable that I don't know and that's why we're they going to such lengths to get all this energy or power? We went back to route 229 then went left to route 230 which leads directly to the fight area where we can catch the ferry back to the main region. This was a route had a small rock in the middle of an opening to the sea with rock spikes randomly placed through the opening. This way would be impossible for me to pass through, I have a water type but they can't carry us across but I have a solution to this dilemma. I called out Regirock and I said "I require your power to make a bridge or of these spikes" Regirock waved his stone arms and the spikes moved to form a line to the small rock and we walked across. When we arrived in the middle he repeated the same and we continued to walk to the other side.
The spikes moved back and he returns to the poke ball as we made our way to the fight area. Fortunately, when we arrived there was a ferry boarding people on to hear back to the mainland. I looked at Eevee, that was playing on Umbreons back, wondering what will Eevee herself decide to evolve into as I feel it should be down to the pokemon with multiple evolutions to choose what they become next. There there were options for her, the first 3 choices, Vaporeon, Flareon and Jolteon. There was also a choice of Espeon, Umbreon, Glaceon. Last ones were Leafeon and Sylveon. I don't think she'd want to become an Umbreon, Leafeon or Jolteon she seems too sweet for them. I guess until she makes her choice, I best focus on the danger that is ahead. The journey on the boat was coming to its end as the Sunyshore city was coming into view. Me and Umbreon, who was still carrying Eevee, walked off the boat and made it easy out of the city with the goal in sight. To the caves under the mountain where the next piece of the puzzle awaits. The quickest way Team Galactic had planned to enter the ruins through a cave near Celestic Town and get around to the ruins. They could have used fly to get to the entrance of the cave in route 216 but because of how cold it is and with the type disadvantage, it's safer to walk through the mountain.
