Chapter 18: next target, Regice

Tank:

We arrived back in the mainland of the region, back at Sunyshore City and with Umbreon carrying Eevee still and we made our way out of the city into route 222 continuing West to the edge of the Valor Lakefront. It was dense with trees as if walking into a deep forest, so dense you couldn't even see Lake Valor or even the small island that rests in the centre of the lake. Eevee probably wanted to go for a swim but we couldn't just yet, maybe later when we have time and when she could play with her new friends, Leafeon and Jolteon that Josh was with. There was something that didn't seem right about that girl, Lace with the Vaporeon and Flareon. I don't want Eevee to pick up had influences and I checked on them both as we headed north to route 214 and quickly passed through Veilstone City, within route 214 there were Pokémon activity but something seemed odd about how they were before when we came this way yesterday. Eevee got down from Umbreon's back then ran around happily, Umbreon sighed and I just smiled as she disappeared in the grass, the only sign to where she was is the grass rustling and her tail looking up out of the grass into view. He resisted the urge to chase after her playfully but as Umbreon watched Eevee laughed and taughted him then dashed off. I nodded then he ran off after her into route 210. Dashing after them want easy but they were laughing and having fun as we made our way back into Celestic Town, just as nice as when I first arrived. We were too busy to enjoy this place and walked past the town into route 221 where there a cave that should help get to the titan of ice. The cave was dark but Umbreon lit it up and we headed to the right, Eevee was confused and followed. There was a wall of rocks, as to be expected inside a cave like this then I called out Ven who then pushed the rocks out of the way to reveal a pathway leading deeper into the cave. I called Ven back before moving forward, this was so we could call to bake others in my team if I needed to.

We continued to venture further and Eevee asked "why are we going this way?" the pathway leads down to an old stair case then we walked down as I answered "this way leads to the cave where Regice is" at the bottom of the stairs that led to a large cavern with a walkway and a large pool of water. There was a small rock in the middle and it was a nice change with a calming atmosphere to it for a place that's this secluded and out of the way. We walked but such a scene and walked up the stairs on the other side of the large room. The stairs led to a hallway with an open door then walked inside with Umbreon and Eevee behind me. The room was large and square with ice patches around the room a statue in front of us as we walk in and a similar spot pattern on the floor. I started to look around to find Regice, since it's somewhere in this room and Umbreon decided to help. Eevee wondered around and started to jump on the spot pattern on the ground. Eevee kept jumping around playful and the pattern starts to glow. What Eevee was doing made me think back to Regirock and to what Mars was doing.

She was moving around too and over a spot pattern like this one. Eevee kept moving on the spots and the room shook like before and the statue crumbled revealing Regice. Eevee awoke it from is deep sleep. Regice slowly glanced around and without a moment's notice, it raises is arms then shoot to Eevee and sir of ice beam. The beam froze the ground and made ice spikes, fortunately Umbreon had picked up Eevee and dashed or of the way. Unfortunately the ice beam kept during and more ice spikes were made bending in the direction the ice beam is sitting in. Umbreon is defending Eevee with all his dodging skills and I can tell just by looking she feels guilty. I call out Bas and Spear, my Metang and Staravia. I called out "Bas, use psychic" with a safe of its metal arm, Regice was forced into the icy will. I continued "Spear, use aerial ace" with blinding speed, Spear flew and knocked Regice. Spear made a distraction for Regice but Spear is a flying type and it has a disadvantage against the ice type. I said "Bas, use bullet seed" Bas swing his arm and hit Regice for more damage as steel was strong against ice, dealing double damage but there's a long way to go before we have won this battle. We need to hit hard and fast. Due to spears speed, the Arabia keep missing and even Umbreon was keeping up with battle and keeping Eevee safe.

I need to finish this fast, I had a plan and it invoked 3 Pokémon. I said "Bas get ready and strike when there an opening, Spear play both decoy and strike and Umbreon, back up Spear with your Shadow back" they knew my plan and pushed Regice back with spears speed and Umbreon's force dealing damage as they went. Everything was going as I hoped and as I said "Bas, use meteor mash" with great force, Bas strikes at Regice as the ice made from ice beam broke and shattered with the damage being doubled. In that moment, I threw a pole all and caught Regice after 3 nerve wrecking shakes. I went and picked up my poor pole all then Spear started to glow and he grew bigger in blinding white light, like before, this means that he was evolving. When the light dimmed what did before us was not a Staravia but a staraptor. He stood proudly as I too was proud of the evolution then called him and Bas back then left the ice ruins, as they are called, and exited the cave into route 216 where there was a blanket of thick snow ready for me. Umbreon and Eevee followed and looked out at the canvas.
