Chapter 46
After their umpteenth argument, Lulu and Petal had finally managed to become somewhat amicable.
"Alright, so, um, guys, can we go?" I asked, afraid of the two. They'd finally stopped arguing, but still gave off a scary aura, like a tiger and a dragon.
"Alright, it's this way!" Lulu said, her face brightening up. She headed towards the tunnel to the left, Electabuzz walking in front of her, lighting the way. Reluctantly, Petal and I followed, Mary still clinging to me, with Keith and Vui bringing up the rear.
"Alright, here we are." Lulu said, arriving in a large cavern. On one side of cavern was a large door that was psychically locked like the first one, and off to the far wall was a large spherical stone in front of what looked like another cavern.
"Alright, let me handle this." Petal said, grabbing the pipe at her waist. "First stance… Hyacinth!"
Petal brought the iron pipe down on the round stone. The stone split straight in two, revealing another tunnel.
"Whoa…" Keith said, amazed. "How… How did you…"
"I'm just that awesome." Petal said smugly. "Alright, let's go, guys!" Petal confidently walked down the tunnel and into the darkness.
We followed after her, relying on the Electabuzz to light the tunnel up for us. However, soon enough, we realized we didn't need to. We arrived in a new cavern, which was well illuminated. A large amount of Team Dim Sun grunts were mining shining purple stones, and we suddenly ducked down behind a wall of rock to avoid being seen.
"Hello there." A voice said. I turned to my left, and saw an older man, maybe in his twenties, kneeling next to the wall, looking over it. He wore the red and white uniform of the top rangers, and wore a red cowboy hat over a wild shock of black hair that reached down to his chin, which had some light stubble. He was well muscled, and had cool black eyes.
Next to the man was a Luxray, who was as beautiful as he was cool, and elegant as he seemed powerful. She had equally wild black hair that reached down to her back, and wore a black biker jacket over a blue shirt. She wore black pants with a bright blue stripe down each side, and had eyes that shown like flames of red and gold.
"Hey, you must be Top Ranger Sven!" Keith shouted, surprised.
"Shut up, you idiot!" Petal hissed, clasping her hands over his mouth as she tackled him to the ground, while the Team Dim Sun grunts looked over. However, seeing nothing, they turned back to their work.
"Alright, I'm glad you kids are here." Sven said, not even bothering to look at us. "I need your help." Yeah, he's really acting like it.
"Hey, I'm not a kid!" Lulu said, frowning.
"Sorry, sorry." Sven said. However, the fact that he didn't even turn back to her makes me kind of question the sincerity of what he'd just said.
"Anyways, what's going on here?" I asked, frowning.
"These guys are mining themselves some pretty stones." Sven said, frowning. "However, I don't think that they're planning on making necklaces for their girlfriends, get my drift?"
"…No. Not one bit." Petal said, shaking her head. "Anyways, what are those things?"
"No idea." Sven said, frowning. "I came here to stop whatever it is Team Dim Sun's planning to do, but for this… I'm baffled."
"Urg…" Lulu said, making a rather sick looking face.
"What's wrong?" I asked worriedly, frowning.
"No… It's nothing…" Lulu said, shaking her head, frowning. "It's just… Those rocks…"
"What about them?" I asked, frowning.
"They give off… Such a horrible aura…" Lulu said, frowning. "It's black… and murky… and evil…"
"Kind of like you." Petal said, smirking.
"I'm serious!" Lulu said, frowning. "Whatever those rocks are… They're evil… They give off the same wretched stench as Aurore…"
"Wow, Aurore stinks?" Petal asked, surprised.
"His aura…" Lulu said, nodding. "It's as black as pitch… But we're not talking about that…"
"Well, whatever is going on here, we need to find some way to clear these guys out of here." Sven said, frowning. "And I think I know just how to do it."
"How?" Keith asked, curious.
"Simple." Sven said, smiling. "There's a moemon in these ruins that can release a… horrible stench. And all we need to do is find it."
"Any idea where it is?" Petal asked.
"Yeah." Sven said, nodding. "It's in the next cavern back, behind those sealed doors, you know, the ones psychically locked. Think you can find her?"
"Yeah, we can!" I said, nodding, standing up. "You guys, stay here, I'll go catch her."
I turned around and headed out into the tunnel behind us, and soon reappeared in the cavern before. I think. I forgot to take Electabuzz with me, so I could only kind of tell by the feel.
"Hey." A voice said, bright light shooting out from behind me. I turned around and had to keep my eyes clenched. However, the light dimmed down, to reveal Electabuzz standing there, with Lulu in front of her, smiling.
"Hey, Lulu." I said, confused. "Why are you here?"
"Oh, I just came here to help you." Lulu said, smiling. "Anyways, this is that psychically locked door?"
Lulu walked past me and up to the door, staring up at it.
"Yeah." I said, nodding. "I need to find some way to open it, though."
"Alright, I've got one!" Lulu said, smiling. "Go, Brana!" Lulu tossed out a moeball, which a Banette emerged from. She released a black of darkness from her hands, hitting the door. The door disintegrated in a flash of light, opening up the room.
"So, how was that?" Lulu asked, smiling. "Let's go, Kelly!"
"Uh, okay." I said, shrugging, following after her.
"UM, Petal, are you alright?" Keith asked, frowning.
"My woman's intuition is going off…" Petal said angrily. "Where's Lulu?"
So, once again, Petal is getting to jealous.
