Stony Wilderness

After meeting the Digging Duo, Lincoln and the group continue travelling north of Bridge Field; they soon found themselves in an area that had several large stones, some were leaning against each other.

"What's this place?" asked Lana. Lincoln looks at the map on his Rotom Phone.

"According to this, we're in Stony Wilderness." replied Lincoln.

"Wow; look at that up there!" said Leni, pointing upward. They look to see what appeared to be a castle on top of a large hill. Lincoln looks at the map on his Rotom Phone.

"That must be Hammerlocke." said Lincoln.

"It looks like a castle!" said Lola with glee.

"Hey; you guys think I can find some more watts before going up there?" asked Ronnie Anne.

"To give to the Digging Duo?" asked Lincoln.

"Yeah; they dug up a lot of cool stuff earlier." said Ronnie Anne.

"I want to find some too." said Luna.

"Me too." said Sam.

"I guess I'm not in too big of a hurry." said Lincoln. "Okay; I wanted to find some more watts too, anyway." He looks back at Bridge Field and saw several Pokemon Dens that were glowing. "Let's split up and look for more watts; we'll meet back here after we're done."

"Good idea." said Clyde. He, Lincoln, Ronnie Anne, and Leni went back to Bridge Field while Luna, Sam, Lucy, Lola, and Lana looked around Stony Wilderness.

Later, Lola was currently using her Rotom Phone to absorb watts from a Pokemon Den.

"Fifty watts collected and stored." said Lola's Rotom Phone. Lola looks around and suddenly sees a Pokemon Den that had a purple beam coming out of it.

"I wonder what's in there." said Lola. She walks to the Pokemon Den and uses her Rotom Phone to absorb the watts.

"Three hundred watts collected and stored." said Lola's Rotom Phone. Lola then jumps into the Pokemon Den; once inside, she looks to see what appeared to be a teacup with a face on it and had a purple liquid in it floating above the ground. "What is that?" She points her Rotom Phone at the Pokemon.

"Sinistea, the Black Tea Pokemon. The teacup in which this Pokémon makes its home is a famous piece of antique tableware. Many forgeries are in circulation." said Lola's Rotom Phone. She looks at the Sinistea.

"It does remind me of tea parties, and this says it's a ghost type which I could use." said Lola. She pulls out a Heal Ball. "I guess I could make this work; Ninetales, go!" She throws Ninetales pokeball and releases her, then she returns Ninetales to her pokeball and she uses her Dynamax Band to enlarge it; she throws the pokeball and releases Ninetales, now Dynamaxed. "Ninetales, Max Hailstorm!" Ninetales lets out a yell and large chunks of ice fall from the sky and onto the ground until a massive one falls onto Sinistea, dealing damage. Hail suddenly starts falling. Sinistea suddenly slumps and it begins surging with energy. "Uh, what's going on with Sinistea?"

Sinistea launches large seeds from its body, and they land on the ground around Ninetales; large blades of grass and mushrooms made of energy grow around her before they exploded, damaging Ninetales. Green energy fills the area while the hail vanishes; some of Ninetales and Sinistea's wounds heal.

"Ninetales, Max Hailstorm one more time!" said Lola. Ninetales lets out a yell before large chunks of ice fall from the sky until a bigger one lands on Sinistea. Hail begins to fall from the sky. Sinistea summons furniture made up of purple energy and launches them at Ninetales, hitting her. Hail suddenly falls from the sky, and they hit Sinistea; the energy around Sinistea explodes and it freezes in place. Lola takes out an empty Heal Ball and she enlarges it with her Dynamax Band before throwing it at Sinistea, hitting it and sucking it in; it wiggled around before it shrinks to regular size and clicks.

"Yeah! Sinistea is mine!" said Lola. Sinistea's Heal Ball vanishes; Lola soon found herself outside the den back in Stony Wilderness. She sees two Balm Mushrooms, several berries and a Technical Record; she picks them up and puts them in her backpack. She uses her Rotom Phone to exchange her Staryu for Sinistea; she then looks up Sinistea's information. "Okay, this says Sinistea has no gender, it knows Astonish, Withdraw, Aromatic Mist, Mega Drain, Protect, Sucker Punch, and Aromatherapy; it has the Weak Armor ability which weakens its defense, but increases its speed when its hits with an attack." She looks at Sinistea's Heal Ball. "Now that I have a ghost Pokemon, I may stand a chance against the next gym leader."

At another part of Stony Wilderness, Lucy was just finishing absorbing watts from a Pokemon Den.

"Fifty watts, collected and stored." said Lucy's Rotom Phone. Before Lucy can put her Rotom Phone away, she suddenly felt a ghostly pressence nearby; she looks to see a bipedal Pokemon that was two different shades of blue with two brown bands around its torso, walking out of the grass. Lucy points her Rotom Phone at the Pokemon.

"Golett, the Automaton Pokemon. This Pokémon was created from clay. It received orders from its master many thousands of years ago, and it still follows those orders to this day." said Lucy's Rotom Phone. Lucy looks at the Golett and pulls out a pokeball.

"Duskull, go." said Lucy, throwing Duskull's pokeball and releasing him. "Duskull, Will-O-Wisp." Duskull forms purple flames in front of him and launches them at Golett, hitting it; fire covers Golett's body. Golett's right arm becomes covered by black and purple energy; it throws a punch and releases a black fist of black energy from his arm, and it hits Duskull, dealing super effective damage to him. Golett winces in pain from its burn.

"Duskull, Hex." said Lucy. Duskull's eye glowed red and purple; a sphere of black energy that had a red eye in the middle of it forms above him. Blue rings of energy fire out of the eye and they hit Golett, dealing massive damage due to Hex doing more damage to an opposing Pokemon with a status condition; Golett falls to the ground. Lucy takes out an empty pokeball and throws it at Golett; it hits Golett and sucks it in. After it wiggled around a few times, it clicks. "Golett is mine." Golett's pokeball vanishes; Lucy turned towards Duskull. "You have done well, Duskull." Duskull suddenly freezes and begins to glow. "Gasp, you're evolving." Duskull begins to change shape; when the glowing stopped, Duskull had a roundish gray body with short legs, light gray hands, and a red eye. Lucy points her Rotom Phone at the newly evolved Duskull.

"Dusclops, the Beckon Pokemon, and the evolved form of Duskull. It seeks drifting will-o'-the-wisps and sucks them into its empty body. What happens inside is a mystery." said Lucy's Rotom Phone.

"Wicked; this also says you learned Shadow Punch upon evolving, and you now have the Pressure ability which has your opposing Pokemon use more of something called Power Points to do attacks." said Lucy. She then looks up Golett's information. "This says Golett has no gender, it knows Mud-Slap, Astonish, Defense Curl, Pound, Shadow Punch, Curse, Night Shade, and Stomping Tantrum; it has the Iron Fist ability which makes its punching moves stronger."

Lincoln, Clyde, Ronnie Anne, and Leni have been going over to random dens in Bridge Field and collecting watts from them. They go into active ones mainly for more watts; the Pokemon they usually find in them were ones they already caught, so they just let them go; as well as grab the items they find in there that they can use or sell later.

With Sam and Luna in the Stony Wilderness, they've been going to dens and collecting watts as well; while exploring, they each found a Star Piece that they plan on selling later on.

Sometime later, it was starting to get a little dark, so everyone met back at the meeting place and set up camp for the night. As they ate dinner, they talked with their families and friends back in Royal Woods.

"I'm glad you kids are still doing okay." said Lynn Sr.

"We're doing great, Dad." said Lincoln.

"So where are you kids at now?" asked Howard McBride.

"Someplace called the Stony Wilderness." said Clyde. He shows everyone the area with his Rotom Phone.

"Not much there." said Lori.

"Yeah, but you should see Hammerlocke." said Lola as she points her Rotom Phone at the castle city.

"That is literally amazing!" said Lori.

"It's like a castle!" said Rita.

"That's what I said." said Lola.

"So, what are you going to do tomorrow?" asked Harold McBride.

"We're going back to those Digging Duo guys we told you about to see what else they can dig up." said Lana.

"And is it true there's a scientist that can revive fossils?!" asked Lisa.

"That's what the Digging Duo told us." said Luna.

"While we're heading for Stow-and-Side, we'll look for him or her and see for ourselves." said Lincoln.

"That would be most appreciated." said Lisa. After a while, they end the call. Once everyone finished cleaning their dishes, they go into their tents, and go to sleep.
