Wow... no reviews? Seriously? I mean, I'm not an attention seeker or anything, but I would like some advice to help me improve my skills, you know? What you like, what you don't like... I don't care, just a quick comment.

These stories will have varying lengths. It depends entirely on how long it takes me to get through it; I'm not trying to make it actually hit a certain length.

For later reference, I'm going to say that dungeons after Temporal Tower do exist, but simultaneously pretend that everything else after you stop the planet's paralysis just doesn't happen. I think it's more fun at the guild, so Team Tenacity is not going to graduate.

Disclaimer: Hmm, let me check... nope, I still don't own Pokémon. Darn.


2. Gravelerock

The Northern Desert was not an easy exploration for electric types, and Bolt was no exception. Sure, Team Tenacity was strong enough by now to barely take any damage from the Pokémon there, but the presence of ground types with Lightningrod were enough to make any battle a challenge for the Pikachu.

"Mew, I hate this dungeon," Bolt muttered.

Kevin in front grunted. "Quit whining," he ordered. "I'm a water type; I've got no problems here. Just sit back. If you really need to fight, use Quick Attack or Slam or something. Now shut up!"

Bolt rolled his eyes. Kevin obviously did not understand how important it was for Pikachu to be able to defend themselves with electricity. Without that power, they felt completely helpless. The dungeon's endless sandstorm had clearly put Kevin in a bad mood, however, so Bolt decided to bite back his disgust with the whole situation. Anyway, not fighting had made him bored.


It had been about twenty minutes in the dungeon, and Bolt was about to go insane. He needed to do something! Anything! Just as long as he wasn't bored anymore! He considered aiming a Thunderbolt at Kevin and laughing as he panicked the moment before it was caught by a Lightningrod, but Bolt quickly scrapped that idea.

"Could I see the Treasure Bag?" Bolt asked. Kevin tossed it back without comment. Bolt started digging through the bag, searching for something interesting. Oran Berries, a Max Elixir, a few Apples, nope, nothing particularly interesting... wait a minute!

"Hey, what's this?" Bolt lifted up the brown lump. "It kinda looks like a Geo Pebble, but it's heavier. And it's not grey."

"Weren't you paying attention after our mission three days ago?" Kevin groaned. "Dratini gave us some Gravelerocks as our reward. Don't you remember?"

"Gravelerock, huh?" Bolt passed it between his paws. "So it's better than a Geo Pebble, right?"

"How'd you figure that out, the fact that it's bigger and heavier?"

"Oh, shut up." Bolt moved the Gravelerock between his paws for a few more moments before suddenly tossing it at a nearby sleeping Cubone. The Cubone, of course, woke up and started running towards the two explorers.

"What the hell was that for, Bolt?"

"I'm bored."

"So?"

"Just be quiet, 'kay?" Bolt started tossing more of the Gravelerocks at the Cubone. After he had thrown a few, the Cubone collapsed and lay unmoving on the dungeon floor.

Kevin looked into the Treasure Bag. "Well, that's just great," he said. "We had ten Gravelerocks and you just used way too many of them up."

"Who cares? That was fun." Bolt took several steps towards the fainted Cubone. "If you care that much, I could try looking for them."

"Whoa!" Kevin's eyes bugged out. "I never thought about it. Where do they go after you throw them?"

That was all the encouragement Bolt needed. He and Kevin spent several minutes searching around and in (don't ask, you don't want to know) the Cubone's body. Sadly, their search came up dry.

"I bet the dungeon's spatial anomaly takes them away," Kevin guessed, disappointed. "They could have ended up anywhere. Probably end up in an entirely different part of the dungeon for other explorers to find."

"Maybe they even leave the dungeon altogether," Bolt agreed. "Oh well, it was worth a shot. Let's eat some Apples and keep going."


Meanwhile, at the Hot Springs, Chatot was talking to Torkoal in an attempt to learn about legends involving the Golden Apples. Just as Torkoal was explaining that no story told about a place where they could definitely be found, some Gravelerocks randomly fell from the sky onto Chatot's head, knocking him unconscious.


I've got several items planned out already, but if someone has a request, there's no reason to not ask. In fact, if I've already got a plan for that item, I'll do it right away!
