"So there is several possible spots to find iron." Donnie says to the group.
It's been about a day since the group arrived in the Pokémon dimension, and Donnie has found possible spots for iron, which he needs to help him make things. One spot is deep in the forest while another is in a cave, and both are the closest to the group's tree.
"So either somewhere in the forest, or a whoknowshowdeep cave will have what you need?" Leo asks overlooking the map Donnie made.
"Yes. I would suggest the forest area first, since we are less likely to get lost." Donnie says.
"Great. So we either go into a dark place and get lost, or get lost in the frickin forest with wild Pokémon around. Not very reassuring Donnie." Raph says with arms folded leaning against the trunk.
"But Raph we can protect ourselves against the Beedrill. There is Pokémon like Golem or Onix in the caves. And they are scarier than Beedrill." Mikey says, whimpering from the mention of Golem and Onix.
"Mikey you'll be fine. We are all going together. Donnie I say we go with the forest first, because at least we will still be on the surface and not trapped in a cave no one can map out." Leo says.
"So you guys done arguing about where we are going?" April says.
"Yeah. We are going to the forest area first." Donnie says.
"You guys ready?" Leo asks.
"Yeah." he gets three replies and one sarcastic back.
"Then lets go!"
"Beedrill, Beedrill please don't hurt us today. If you please leave us alone, I'll make you some pizza ." Mikey sings softly while walking on the forest floor.
"Mikey stop singing. It's annoying and it's not going to help with the Beedrill. Plus it's distracting." Raph scowls while Mikey stops singing for a moment.
"Raph, Mikey can do what he wants as long as he is quiet. But Mikey, please stop singing." Leo interupts the two.
"Ok by what the map says, we should be pretty close." Donnie says to the others.
"How close? I can't stand another minute of Mikey's singing!" Raph says.
"Hey I'm not singing, anymore!" Mikey says.
"Well if that isn't you, then who is humming? You're the only one in the group who sings at weird times, Mikey." Raph says.
"Uh I think he's telling the truth. It's not Mikey humming." Donnie says looking through a bush.
"Then who is?" Raph demands.
"Them..." Donnie moves so the others could look through the bush.
"Are those?.." Leo asks.
"Yup. Combee. And a whole hive as well." Donnie says.
A large clearing leads way to a small mountain. Large trees border the clearing. A river runs through part of the clearing. Flowers scatter the floor in random patterns. A large castle made of what looked amber in color. Combee fly around the place, some were going into the castle, while others flew away.
"It's like a city. But it's made of amber. City of Amber!" Mikey shouts.
Raph comes over to Mikey and smacks him on the head.
"Now is not the time to be naming things Mikey!" Raph scolds Mikey.
"Would you two knock it off? We still have to check the place out if you didn't notice!" Leo says. "Donnie it safe to go down there?"
"Yeah. It looks like there is only Combee down there. If we can get past them without being spotted, we can check out the cave-like structure next to the hive." Donnie explains.
"Good. You guys get the plan?" Leo asks.
"Yeah." April and Mikey say.
"Yeah sure. We can totally just waltz right in there without being spotted and possible attacked. The plan is foulproof." Raph says sarcastically.
"Other than Mr. Sarcastic over here, everyone is ready, Leo." Donnie says.
"Ok. Lets move out guys!"
"How did I end up getting stuck with you two?" Raph sighs and walks on.
"Well maybe if someone didn't scare the Geodude, we would be fine right now." Donnie says back to Raph.
"Wasn't my fault! It looked just like another rock." Raph says in defense.
"Can it you two. We still have to find what Donnie needs, and find the others." April says. "Now Donnie are we close to where you need to be?"
"Yes. It should be just right around the corner." Donnie says.
The three walk into a big cavern. The inside looks like it was carved out by some ancient force. Grey streaks cover the surrounding rocks. In the back is another passageway that leads deeper into the cave.
"It looks like something big carved this out." Donnie says examining the rocks. "Most likely something came in here and has a personal iron collection. These grey stripes are iron, but they shouldn't be down here..."
"Well weird or not we found what you need. So go ahead and collect some so we can get out of here." Raph says, leaning against the wall.
"I'll be a bit. April can you hand me the bag?" Donnie asks her.
"Here." April says handing him the bag.
"Ok. I'll let you guys know when I'm done." Donnie says, then walks off to go collect iron.
"Uh Leo. Do you know where we are going?" Mikey asks.
"Not the slightest idea Mikey. I thought I heard something down here, but there is nothing down here." Leo says.
A large cavern filled with rocks surrounds the two. The floor is sanded down with scattered rocks. A cavern leads deeper into the cavern. A cold draft can be felt through the other end of the cavern.
"Can we please go? It's cold down here." Mikey whines, shivering slightly.
"Sure. Lets go the way we came." Leo says.
-Breet Breet-
"What the heck is that?" Leo asks.
A giant mound of rocks blocks the exit. Six circles, beeping in random patterns, is on the top of it. The entire thing has arms, legs, a head, and a body made of rocks.
"It's Regirock!" Mikey shouts.
"How can you tell?" Leo asks Mikey.
"I've played the Sinnoh games enough." Mikey replies.
-Breet Boop Bop!-
"Uh Mikey, move out of the way!" Leo pushes Mikey away, just as Regirock fires a blast where Mikey was standing before.
"Gah! How am I supposed to fight it if I'm an electric type!" Mikey freaks out.
"I'll fight it. You help me distract it. If we can get it to move, then you will run through the door as fast as you can, ok?" Leo says getting water gun ready.
"Yeah boy! Lets go!" Mikey sprints to Regirock, shouting Booyakasha, and drawing Regirock's attention.
Leo hits Regirock while it's distracted, and it moves forward a little bit. Eventually Leo gets Regirock away from the exit.
"Mikey go now!" Leo says while fending off Regirock with water gun.
"Ok I'm getting out of here!" Mikey says running through the exit.
"Hey rockface, your moves are as soft as sand!" Leo says before pelting Regirock with water gun, running through the exit, and barricading it with a giant rock.
"Booyakasha! High-paw Leo!" Mikey says giving Leo a high-paw.
"Alright lets go find Raph and the others." Leo says.
"Are you done collecting that yet?" Raph asks impatiently, tapping one foot.
"Yeah. This should be enough for a bit." Donnie says holding up the bag.
"Ok then lets get out of here." Raph says, walking towards the exit.
"Wait guys. Do you hear that?" April asks.
"Hear what? There's nothing here-" Raph replies.
-Breet-
"What the heck!" Raph shouts, jumping out of the way.
A beam of energy flies by, just as he dodges. A giant thing with a grey body and dark grey arms with six circles on its eyes, stares at Raph and gets ready to fire again.
"Oh no you don't." Raph dodges again and hits the thing with an ember attack.
"Wait Raph! That's Registeel from the Hoehn region. Be careful when fighting it, after all, it is a legendary!" April shouts and accidently gets Registeel's attention. "Heh oops..."
"April, get out of the way!" Donnie pelts Registeel with razor leaf, and Raph gets it with another ember attack.
-Breet Breet-
"Uh Donnie, we should get out of here. It's just a thought." Raph says running to the exit.
"Fine with me. C'mon April." Donnie says running to the exit with April.
"Guys lets block the exit with this." April says walking up to a big boulder.
The three push the boulder onto the hole blocking the path.
"Yeah!" All three shout.
"Now lets try to find Leo and Mikey." Raph says.
"Donnie? Raph? April?" Mikey shouts while walking along the cortidor.
"Guys where are you?" Leo joins in.
Silence answers the two. Then a faint voice down the path meets them.
"Guys? Is that you Mikey and Leo?" Barely audible, April answers them.
"Yeah it's us." Leo shouts.
Footsteps are heard as Raph, Donnie, and April run to meet up with Leo and Mikey.
"Can't believe we found you guys! We were looking all over!" Mikey says.
"Heh we kinds got sidetracked." Donnie says. "But I did manage to get some iron."
"Great so can we get out of these caves?" Raph asks.
"Yeah. Lets go down this way since you guys came down that way and we came from the other direction." Leo says walking down a corridor to the left.
The group walks along for a bit then a light is seen at the end of the tunnel. Cold air can be felt from the other end.
"Light!" Mikey shouts running to the opening.
"Wait Mikey it could be a dead end!" Donnie says racing after the Pikachu.
"Woah. Guys check this out!" Mikey shouts to the other.
"Ok we're coming. What did you wa- Woah.." Raph stops at the edge of the opening.
Giant ice crystal paths block the view. A light source comes in from a crack in the ceiling as crystals lead to various paths.
"It looks like a giant ice maze." April says looking around.
"I think we should head up. We could probably get to the surface if we go up there." Leo says looking up at the never-ending crystals.
"Well then lets go!" Raph says jumping to the nearest crystal.
"Booyakasha! Last one to the top has to make pizza!" Mikey says running onto a crystal above Raph.
"Guys we should still be careful. For all we know a Pokémon could be down here." Donnie warns, but the others are already running along.
"Sorry Donnie." April says following the others.
"-sigh- Hey guys wait up!" Donnie says, using his vines to hurl himself upwards.
-BOOM-
"Aaaah!" Mikey screams as the crystal he was on explodes and he falls downwards, catching himself on another below him. "What the heck was that?!"
-Breet-
"Oh no... It's Regice." April says as another energy beam shoots past Mikey.
"Hey leave my brother alone!" Raph says, racing after Regice and pelting it with ember.
-Breet!-
Regice cowers from the flames and shoots Raph with a beam.
"Gah!" Raph says falling onto a crystal.
"Guys be careful!" Leo shouts to the others. "We don't want to find out what happens when we get to 0 Hp."
"Now guys think. Regice is an ice type so fire would be most effective against it. Raph try hitting it with ember. Mikey help me and Leo distract it. April you can help us as well." Donnie says to the others.
"Ok everyone. Do as Donnie says and we'll make it out of here. Try not to defeat Regice, we just need to get past it." Leo says. "Ok move out!"
"Nanana can't get me Regice." Mikey makes faces at Regice and moves around, dodging ice beams that Regice shoots out.
"Hey puddleface over here!" Leo shouts to Regice, throwing a water gun at it to get it's attention.
While the others distract it, Raph comes behind Regice and uses flamethrower. Regice beeps in annoyance as it's being defeated. Eventually Regice blasts one last beam, and runs off.
"Yeah you better run. You don't want to mess with Raph." Raph says as Regice dissapears.
"Ok guys lets get out of here." Leo says running up to the top.
"Well today was very eventful." April says looking at the others.
"Well we would have made it if a certain Pokémon didn't wake up the Geodude." Leo says looking at Raph.
"What? How was I supposed to know it was there!" Raph argues.
"You didn't. The whole point of Geodude is that it looks like a rock." Donnie says, putting the iron in a corner with other stuff he has found/made.
"Anyways, guys let's go to bed. The more rest we get, the sooner home we will be." Leo says to the others, as he walks to his sleeping mat of leaves.
The others do the same as Leo and go to their respective leaf mats. A owl hoots in the distance, as the group drifts off into sleep.
