Useless.
Xenos was traveling through cities the last days.
Neither the currently under construction Mauville City nor Petalburg City gave him any clues on the legend he was chasing. On the way he saw other Team Magma members looking for something. But he did not care.
His last destination was Dewford Town. He heard about a cave that could bring some answers. It was mostly visited by rock collectors because of the rare meteorite shards that could be found there. The most interesting part of the cave however was its famous cave art. It was said to depict events that happened thousands of years ago.
Xenos avoided mostly contact with others. He used his only Pokemon, his Relicanth, to reach the City on an island.
A tiny city. It should be unsurprising that there wouldn't be much to see on an island but this cave could bring some more light in my theories.
The Ruin Maniac which were all over in the cave quickly ran away as they saw his red uniform, clearly indicating his involvement with Team Magma.
" Hmm. This "art" brings up more questions than it brings answers. It seems to depict the ancient Pokemon Groudon and Kyogre. Their abilities are remarkable but also terrible. The Power they possessed must be beyond our imagination. I should take a small brake; I can examine it always later."
The man with the light steel blue hair was standing around in the cave talking to himself currently not noticing Xenos.
"Hm? Excuse me, I haven't been paying attention. "
"Wait. This uniform. You probably are a member of one of these villainous teams I have been hearing about lately. It seems some of you stole some research data of the Devon Corporation. You better leave now. I show no sympathy for villains like you."
I don't need a fight to see how strong he is. Currently with only my Relicanth I stand no match, but I also cant back out now. I need to take a look at the cave art.
"I don't want to cause any harm. I'm here on personal business. I want to examine this cave art."
The young man, still unsure of Xenos intentions, examined him further.
"You don't seem to be the average grunt. Rather an intellectual who should know what he was doing. How did you end up in such company? By the way, you can call me Steven."
Xenos had no time for useless conversations and he tried to quickly get rid of Steven.
"Then if you would be so kind Steven. I'd like to examine the wall and I wouldn't appreciate someone looking over my shoulder."
Steven put on a small smile.
"Of course but listen to me. Are you sure you want to be involved in these criminal actions? You don't seem to be the type."
Xenos did not answer.
"Very well. Maybe if we meet again we could continue our conversation but we both seem to be busy men. Until then."
Finally. Sweet silence.
Xenos was already eager to take a look at the drawings with were all over the wall.
It depicts the same two ancient Pokemon I found out about at the ruins. Although there are no mentions of a third. Neither is a giant mentioned. Only the terrible conflict that plagued Hoenn…
"Aw crap. I didn't expect some pesky land lover crawling around in this stinking' cave."
Once again Xenos was interrupted in his thoughts and this time it probably won't end well.
"And you are exactly?"
"I take this as an insult, how could you not know us?"
The man was talking about him and his female company.
This appears to be Team Aqua. They don't look like the brightest but could be a problem.
The women behind the man who tried to threaten or rather impress Xenos, looked seemingly annoyed by his actions.
"I knew this would be a bad idea. I told you we shouldn't have trusted this Newcomer. She looked all strange with those red eyes."
"NOT NOW WOMEN. I AM TALKING TO THE ENEMY!"
Xenos almost forgot he was still in his Team Magma uniform.
Maybe I should hide it while I'm in public. It could be better to hide my relationship with Team Magma.
"Alright dude, this is really a dick move not paying attention to us." Maybe I should teach you a lesson!"
"Go, Poochyena!"
The Aqua Grunt revealed his Pokemon in front of Xenos, who was unimpressed.
"I suppose I can play with you for a while." Said Xenos, as he took his Pokeball from his belt.
"Relicanth."
The ancient Pokemon had no problem staying on the ground, unlike most Water Pokemon.
"Aw man! You think this old fish thing has a chance against my mighty Pokemon? Don't make me laugh."
"Poochyena, Tackle!"
The Pokemon followed his Trainers command and proceeded to try to ram Xenos Relicanth.
Even with all its Might the Grunt's Poochyena didn't even inflict a scratch upon Relicanth.
"Rock Tomb."
Xenos Relicanth bombarded the enemy's Poochyena with rocks, trapping it inside them.
It was instantly knocked out.
"DUDE WHAT? How could this old-ass fish beat my Pokemon?"
Both called back their Pokemon and Xenos, casually, walked out of the cave.
I suppose this will suffice
