Hey, so sorry for the late update. I'm just going to let you read now.

Chapter 6: More Carno Chaos

I yawned as I woke, instinctively grabbing my Medals from the table next to my bed. I Also felt something else besides the two that I normally held, and looked over to find Bob's Venator just lying there. Last night's events suddenly flowed through my head, and I realized that Bob never got his stuff. I walked out of my room, when I heard Thea's voice call out to me.

"Derrick? There's some guy sleeping outside our door. You know him?"

I went out and looked. And there I found… Bob.

"Hey, Bob? What are you doing here?"

"Mmmmh. Wha? Huh? Derrick?"

"Yeah."

"YOU! I'VE BEEN WAITING HERE ALL NIGHT! "

"Why would you… oh."

"YOU DIDN'T GIVE ME MY STUFF! "

"Dude, calm down, stop shaking m- Hey!"

My Carno medal dropped from my hand, and was released in the hall. Normally, this wouldn't be bad, but with the amount of fighters waking up at this time, Carno got a little mental. Starting to go on a rampage, it rushed at the closest person, a girl with neon green hair and wearing a white dress. Carno roared as it gained space before a figure suddenly leaped out of a door. He took a fighting stance before the girl, and tossed a medal straight up. It grew midair, and a Pterosaur with an unusual head crest popped into sight. It wobbled a bit while flying, but seemed stable. A barely audible voice called an order.

"Jan… Knockout Cry."

Sound waves fell from the Vivosaur's jaw, and hit Carno straight on. It seemed unhurt by the attack initially. Suddenly, though, it fell straight to the ground, eyes closed. The hall fell silent, and I noticed the girl talking to the boy in grey clothing. He glanced at me, and suddenly tossed another medal. A very odd Vivosaur popped out, and a burst of feathers covered the hall. A giant ball of it went out the window, and fell to the ground. When the feathers were all settled, the grey clothed boy was nowhere to be seen. I rushed over after my initial shock, and recalled my slumbering Carno before it could cause more trouble.

"I'm so sorry. Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Can't hate you for something that's not your fault." I sighed in relief, and helped her up.

The hall suddenly rang out with beeps.

~ Treasure Lake is now open to all Cup Participants. ~

After the end of the message, people were in such a mad rush to get out that they stirred up all the feathers once more, covering the hall in a grey cloud.

"Wing Whirlwind!" I heard the girl call, and suddenly, all the feathers were flying out of the window. Needless to say, anyone outside wasn't going to be happy.

"Wait… What were all those beeping things?"

"Well Derrick, while I was stuck without my stuff, I went downstairs and got a Paleopager from the front desk."

"Oh. Well, I guess we better get going to Treasure Lake. I still need to get my first fossil."

"And while you do that I'll just grab all my stuff by myself and drag it up two flights of stairs so as not to disturb your day." Bob huffed, sarcastically.

Despite my initial thought to pretend to take him seriously, and actually start walking off downstairs, I decided not to make matters worse and help him.

"Here, I'll help you with it," Thea offered, and I thanked her as we grabbed a few pieces of luggage and headed for the stairs, this time going up. Once our mission was accomplished, we ran back down the stairs towards the exit, until I realized the small problem that we had forgotten. We had no clue where Treasure Lake was.

"Uhh…" I stood there thinking for so long that I was sure a series of ellipses was going to appear over my head.

"Why don't we just ask her?" Thea motioned at a burgundy-haired woman who was standing near the sign to the Fighter Station. "I'm sure she saw where everyone went earlier."

I nodded, and walked over to her. "Hello. Can you tell us where Treasure Lake is?"

"Hi." She said, before mumbling something under her breath.

"Huh?" I asked, confused.

"Oh, it's nothing." She let out a few incoherent words before continuing. "Well, I saw everyone heading towards the southeast side of town, so I assume it's right over there."

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome." We started to head in that direction. All of a sudden, a blur zipped by the two of us, leaving us to stare at it as it passed through the entrance to Treasure Lake. When we got there, a Young Woman was looking amazed.

"Umm, excuse me?" Thea looked at her and waved her hand in front of her face.

"Oh I'm sorry." The staff member laughed. "Here's your Sonar for finding fossils. Just push one of these two buttons at the top, or tap the middle of your screen, and the sonar will start scanning the ground."

"Is that all?"

"Yep! So you can go start digging!"

"Thank you!" We dashed off, leaving the staff member behind as we were ran towards the first Dig Site, only to find a giant crowd blocking our way. I managed to catch something about disqualification before everyone dispersed.

I noticed Dina and Todd heading off to talk to a white-haired boy in a red coat. Before I could call out to them, a more shocking sight caught my attention. I saw Bob climbing on a large skull that sat in the middle of the lake. I ran over, and to my horror, I saw his foot slip at the edge of one of the teeth, causing him to fall down towards the earth. He let out high scream just before he hit the ground, and his pickaxe fell roughly 5 inches away from his head. I ran over and helped him up. Thea's hand lightly slapped her own face, as she reprimanded Bob for climbing so high.

"You're an idiot."

Well, I hope that was good enough to make up for almost 2 Months. Thanks for reading, and please Review! I'm already starting on the next Chapter!
