The detector remained silent in Lucas' hand as he traversed the cave. Winding through the cave he couldn't help but wonder. How did the meteors make land here? There was no opening in the top of the cave. No way an impact crater could be in the falls. But here they were, countless of them. All empty too. Another mystery. Ideas swirled around in Lucas' head, explanations for how the cave formed, how the meteors might have landed, where they went.

A wild jellicent crossed the head scientist's path. A deep gurgling sound emanates from the water type. It spurred the Glaceon and Aegislash to defend their trainer. The cave erupts with sound as the pokemon fight, ending as fast as it started. Lucas walked past the limp body left from the fight. A thought struck him as he looked towards its lifeless eyes. What if a pokemon were the source of the meteors landing here and their disappearance?

The detector beeped in Lucas' hand. His heart pounded faster in response. He was finally nearing a sample.

A pebble fell from up high. The sound resonated through the cave. The scientist turned his head upwards. He found a Xatu looking down upon him inquisitively. "Peculiar," he thought aloud. Xatu wasn't a pokemon Lucas had expected to find within the caves. "Perhaps?" An idea struck him, that the pokemon wasn't wild. That he wasn't as alone in the cave as he'd thought. He motioned for his pokemon to stick close.

The signal vanished as quickly as he'd found it. Lucas retraced his steps in hope of finding the signal again. But it was gone, completely gone. It mystified him. In defeat, the head scientist made his way back towards the entrance of the cave. Here he found something of equal value to what he'd lost. At Lucas' command his pokemon surged forward towards the Omanyte.

The pokemon clash, the sound filling the cavern. Rocks and an artificial blizzard flew through the air as the battle raged. Its end came with the Aegislash's blade. A sacred aura covered the blade as it was brought down against the fossil pokemon.

A pokeball whistled through the air, colliding with the shell of the fossil pokemon. It disappeared in a second. The ball shook back and forth as it strains to contain the pokemon within.
