Virtual Rocket Storm

Digging for Diglet

Vermillion city was buzzing with life it seemed trainers of electric type Pokémon from all over had come here to train. The city was brought to life by the magnificent vessel, with the golden letters S.S Ann written on the side, standing out against the white body of the ship. Light blue sea lapped against the bottom of the boat, every so often it would sparkle yellow as electric type moves lit up the city.

While the majority of the sky was as blue as the sea the sky about the gym was black. Lighting struck a rod on top of the building causing the entire building to glow a blinding yellow, as the light dimmed two images. The tails of the Raichu and Pikachu met in the middle forming the doors. Then for an instant the building went dark, until the next strike hit. Diglet tunnel was to the east of town, in front of the entrance there was a tent set up.

After stopping at the poke centre Tyson, Yumi and Jack headed over to the tent. Above the tent was a dirt covered sign, through the muck the words Diglet Safari. After the crushing defeat at the hands of Yukio and his ground types, Tyson had been thinking about getting a ground type himself. To the left of the entrance there was another muck covered sign stating if you can't catch a Diglet for 200 pokécoins.

The trio spilt up as Tyson went into Diglet tunnel Yuri and Jack decided to spend some time getting supplies in case rockets showed up. The tunnel had become the centre point for ground type training in the Kanto area. With electric types raging above ground the players had decided to train ground types below ground to crush Lt. Surge. There were several full sized battlefields scorched by flames into the floor. The deeper into the cave Tyson got the darker his surroundings became until he had to send out Combusken to light up the area.

Tyson felt liked he'd been walking for hours when the ground erupted beneath him. Suddenly a river of worm like creatures swept him off his feet and he was going down stream.

Diglet may be small, but damn there though!

The river finally came to a stop in a large room in the centre were about twenty Dugtrio. As soon as he was free Tyson returned Combusken and ran as fast as he could out of the tunnel. The only problem was he had no idea where he'd been taken. To make things worse the chanting of 'Diglet-dig, Diglet-dig, trio, trio, trio' was close behind him all the time.

Finally Tyson crashed into another player who was kind enough to so him the way back to the beginning. As soon as they'd got back to the battlefields every player in the tunnel turned to face into the tunnel as the ground shook violently and the cant grew louder and louder. Yuri and Jack came into the tunnel just in time to see an army of Diglet and Dugtrio emerge from the gloom.

Almost instantly a wall of water types stood between the army and the trainers, a wave of water shot out and the cave was flooded a sea of Diglet was washed back into the cave. Tyson Managed to get a poké ball out just in time to capture one of the Diglet, before they disappeared.

The trainer army were just about to congratulate each other when a blinding light lit up the tunnel. Suddenly over sixty Dugtrio came charging towards the trainers. The water Pokémon began to charge their attacks, but the Dugtrio were expecting the attack. In an instant they disappeared behind the ground. As quickly as they'd dug the resurfaced behind the front line and continued out of the cave.

In a mad rush trainers returned their Pokémon and followed the Dugtrio, forgetting about the other Diglet. As soon as the last of the Pokémon were removed the Diglet made their second assault. Back up top it was hell, seeing as Vermillion was electric type central the ground type Diglet and Dugtrio were winning.

At this point Tyson and a few other trainers took charge. "Everyone with water types from a circle around the Diglet." Within seconds a well coordinated strategy was formed. The water types pushed the Diglet back into the tunnel and with one final blast the Pokémon disappeared into the darkness.

Cheers roared across the city Tyson and the other leaders were congratulated for their quick thinking and everything returned to normal. Moments later a sign appeared outside Diglet Tunnel reading:
