Chapter 20

Where we last left off; Blake fell in a double sinkhole, found a strange stone, and found a tunnel after removing the stone and walks down in. "Well I don't really need the flashlight." she thought to herself as she looked up at her helmet. She can see in the dark because of her Faunus night vision. "But it maybe useful for miners to see me easier." But then she looked back having second thoughts, "On the other hand, maybe I should wait for them." Blake looks back and forth between the tunnels ends and can't decide if she should stay or continue. Then a light shined bright at the end of one tunnel at the corner of Blake's eye. She then pulls out her megadex to call the others, but something down there is interfering with the signal. So she puts it away and decides to follow the light. Hopefully, she would find miners down there.

Back on the surface, the other three members of Team RWBY and Rusty ran up towards Terry and explain the situation. "This is serious!" Terry says after hearing the news, "We have to help Blake! She's gonna be in a lot of trouble!" "You mean the Aron nests?" Ruby says after remembering the story about the Arons earlier. "Not just that, there are other subterranean pokemon that live in the area that we avoid." "Yang," Weiss turns to Yang, "use Rex. His nose might help us just in case Blake tries to find miners in the tunnel." "Right." Yang then tosses her pokeball and Rex comes out. "Rex, we need your help." Yang pulled out one of Blake's pajamas and let Rex sniff it. Rex then catches the scent and follows it.

Blake follows the light at the end of the tunnel as she keeps her light on in case she comes in contact with any miners. However, as she made towards the end of the tunnel, she actually found and underground ecosystem. "What is this place?" Blake says while awestruck by the view. What she sees is a flowing river with giant glowing crystals, plants that are thriving in the underground environment, and pokemon that are enjoying the vast open underground which contains Zubats, Stotoxes, Darculas, Dracubats, Barewls, Grozards, Tonemies, Lotads, Comites, Dunsparces, Fortogs, Magikarps, Modrills, Gligars, Whismers, Ghastlies, Arons, and Geodudes along with their evolve forms. Even fossil pokemon are alive and well down in the underground. Blake uses her megadex on all of them to learn more while taking pictures.

However, something in the foliage doesn't approve of Blake's presence.

Back on the surface, Team RWBY along with Rusty and Terry arrived at the hole where Blake fell down. "She fell down there?" Terry asks as he gets a closer look. "Exactly." Ruby responded, "Do you think there is another tunnel down there?" "Hard to say. There are plenty of caves and tunnels throughout the mountain range. There are still a few things that has been untouched by human hands." After examining the hole, he got back up and turned towards the four, "We need some rope. Approximately 30 or 32 feet at least."

Back underground, Blake continues to explore the underground ecosystem but not too far from the tunnel. But then she notices an Aron that wasn't feeling well. She dashes right up to it and asks, "Are you hurt?" Blake notices a small wound on Aron's left foreleg and pulls out a potion and some wrappings to treat it. But the Aron refuses and threatens Blake. She just ignores the warnings and treats the Aron. It stung the Aron a little but starts to feel better and the Aron appreciates that. However, some Lairons appeared from the bushes and are giving her threatening glares. She steps back a bit while saying, "I guess that's my cue to leave."

Blake runs as fast as she can towards the tunnel while using her shadow clone semblance to confuse them. Later, an Aggron shows up and is really mad. So it charges Blake right into the tunnel and chases her. Blake ran and ran away from the charging pokemon until she made it to the place where she fell and is greeted by Ruby, Terry, Rusty, and Yang. "Blake!" Yang shouted for joy and hugs her. "Thank goodness your okay!" For a few seconds they enjoy their reunion, right up until they feel the quakes. "What is that?" Yang asked while looking at the direction of the tunnel. "That, is an angry Aggron." "Uh-oh." Ruby and Rusty went.

The Aggron approaches faster and faster until an Aron jumps in front of the charging pokemon. The Aron stops it with metal sound. "MY EARS!" Blake shouts in agony as well as everyone else. The sound stops a few seconds later. The little Aron tries talking to the Aggron while everyone noticed the bandage on its left foreleg. The Aggron nodded and took the little Aron back into the tunnel...not before causing the tunnel to collapse behind it. "WHAT IS GOING ON DOWN THERE?!" Weiss shouted from the surface. "I'LL EXPLAIN LATER!" Blake shouts back. "Look at this!" Terry pointed at the rock that the Aggron used to collapse the tunnel. What is on it is four different types of fossils, one for each member of Team RWBY. "Wait a minute!" Rusty says before they can dig up the fossils, "Where's mine?" Not before long, a dome fossil fell on Rusy's head and has fainted. "WE'RE GONNA NEED A MEDIC!"

After everyone gets out and collect their fossils, they head straight towards the lab where they can be resurrected. While the fossils are getting cleaned out and prep, Blake told everyone (including Barry) about the underground ecosystem and the pokemon living in it. "I see." Barry says with great interest, "So the Arons and Aggron my brother encountered wasn't a nest. These pokemon were guarding an entry way to the little paradise. That's something we don't see everyday, don't you agree brother?" "Indeed." Terry agrees, "That would explain the incident." "Can we see the process, now." Weiss says with impatience and really wants to see the process.

The two brothers lead Team RWBY to the restoration room while explaining.

Terry: "There have been many methods that were used to bring pokemon back to life. However, we chose one that is a bit more energy efficient."

Barry: "So we acquired research from a scientist in the Unova Region. Thanks to her, we can resurrect fossil pokemon as many times as we want."

Weiss: "What exactly is this energy source?"

Terry & Barry: "The answer is dream energy!"

Blake: "Wait, what?"

Yang: "How the heck do you convert dreams into energy?"

Weiss: "I find it hard to believe."

Ruby: "Is there a pokemon that does that?"

Terry and Barry: "Indeed and they are super cute!"

Ruby and Weiss gotten excited about seeing another cute pokemon and are eager to see them. Yang and Blake looked at each other and Yang just shrugs. "We're here!" The doors slide opens to reveal a machine of some kind where the fossils are lined up. The next thing they see are three pokemon with tubes attached to them. "Awwww!" Ruby and Weiss went after seeing the two Muunas and a Musharna. They run up and say how cute they are and reduced to baby talk. "Now, now." Terry drags the two away, "That's enough." Yang pulled up her megadex to see what kind of pokemon they are.

"Muuna. The dream eater pokemon. Munna always float in the air. People whose dreams are eaten by them forget what the dreams had been about. This Pokémon appears before people and Pokémon who are having nightmares and eats those dreams. When it eats a pleasant dream, it expels pink-colored mist." "Musharna. The drowsing pokemon and the evolve form of Munna. The dream mist coming from its forehead changes into many different colors depending on the dream that was eaten. The mist emanating from their foreheads is packed with the dreams of people and Pokémon." "Wow." Yang says then puts away the megadex, "Guess there REALLY is a pokemon for everything. So lets just Muuna on?" Blake just ignores the pun. "Oh come on!" Then Blake says, "Guess they are right about them being cute." She admits that they are very cute and Yang agrees.

"Now then," Terry starts cracking his knuckles while ready to type on the computer, "which fossil should we revive first?" "Oh, oh!" Yang jumps up with her hand raised, "Dibs on the gold one!"

Terry: *types* "Inserting gold fossil." *machine puts the fossil in the slot* "Analyzing DNA." *DNA strains appear on the screen* "Now for the dream energy. Do your thing guys." *dream energy extracted from Muunas and Musharna into the machine via tubes* "And now, the piece of resistance!" *presses red button* "The revival process!"

There was a loud ding like a kitchen timer as Yang approaches her new pokemon coming out of the machine's large doors. What comes out is a short reptilian looking thing with a brown-rock colored body with golden spikes on its head, golden jaw, golden tip tail, and golden forelegs. "Wow." Yang is impress at her new pokemon. She pulled out her megadex to see what it is. "Jungore. The gold ingot pokemon. Its hide is studded with pieces of solid gold. Because of how valuable this Pokémon is on the black market, its population dwindled until it became extinct in the wild." "Wow-ho-ho!" Now Yang is completely impressed, "It's also a fighting-type and I love it. I'm gonna call you...Elvis!" "Where did you get that?" Ruby wonders. Yang just smiles and shrugs. "Next."

Weiss claims the sail fossil and waited for the process. What comes out is a Amaura and was super excited that she calls her Elsa. Next is Blake, who chose the horn fossil which turns into a Calphite. Here some information for you guys (and it is from Pokemon Sage): "Calphite. The tremor pokemon. Calphite spent many of its early years with its mother. Despite its massive size, it scared easily and trampled much in its path when running in fear." It is a male. Next, Ruby gets the only fossil left, an old amber. "Oh I wonder what could it be!" Ruby says excitedly as the machine processes the fossil. "I wonder if it will be super cute! Or maybe super strong! Or something super awesome!"

As the machine finishes and the doors open, Ruby is greeted by a really loud roar that shook the room as it comes out. What Ruby got was a BIG surprise. It is an Aerodactyl. "That. Is. AWESOME!" Ruby runs up and snuggles her new pokemon, which the poor thing is embarrassed and tries to look away from Ruby. So it is the strong tough guy with a big heart. While Ruby snuggles, Weiss pulls up her megadex. "Aerodactyl. The fossil pokemon. Aerodactyl is a Pokémon from the age of dinosaurs. It was regenerated from genetic material extracted from amber. It is imagined to have been the king of the skies in ancient times. It used its sawlike fangs to shred its prey before eating them. In ancient times, it ruled the skies. A widely accepted theory is that it went extinct due to a large meteor impact." "Wow." she says while looking at his moves, "It knows iron head, thunder fang, supersonic, and wing attack. That's a powerful pokemon." Yang whistles, "Dang. Ruby got a good one." After Ruby snuggles her new pokemon, she decides to give it a name. "I'm gonna call you...Brock!"

Terry snickered at Aerodactyl's nickname. "What's so funny?" Blake asks. "It's because that's the same name as the gym leader of Pewter City." "Oh, I completely forgot!" Barry panicked while checking his pockets. "Yang. Ruby. There is something we forgot to give you." He pulls out four computer disk looking things and gives them to Ruby and Yang. "These are TMs. Two from each of us. They are TM60 Sand Tomb and TM67 Rock Slide." Ruby and Yang accepts them, but Ruby asks, "Why do we need these?" "Gym leaders not only give you badges, but also some TMs. We both forgot to give these to you after the Double Tryout." They both forgave them as Team RWBY welcomes their new pokemon.

The next day, Team RWBY left Cambrian City and continue to travel. "So where are we going next?" Ruby asks her teammates with the sun still rising. "I still wanna take on the Makoto City Gym." Yang says while looking very eager to fight. "How about Unova City?" Weiss suggested, "I would like to see this PokeStars Studios Theme Park. We can make our own movies there." "Long as you don't hog the spotlight, Ice Queen." Yang jokingly says. "Hey!"

Ruby then turns to Blake. "What about you?" Blake thinks about it for a moment then says, "We should try to find a way home. Maybe we could find an ancient structure that could give us clues. Or maybe eat whatever fish pokemon we encounter. But what about you Ruby?"

Weiss: "So team leader, which one would you like to do?"

Yang: "Come on Ruby. Pick one."

This is a tough decision for Ruby. Which one will she choose? Find out next time!

AN: Almost forgot...again. Happy Easter Everybody! I know it's early, but what the heck.
