A survey team was put together in order to study some of the ruins that resided in Hoenn’s desert.

A combination of researchers and volunteers, the team was to venture deep into the catacombs and see what they could find.

Leading this venture was Shin; due to his study of ancient Hoenn it was thought he’d be useful.

Though you probably wouldn’t think he was the leading type given how nonchalant he was about the whole thing and the possible dangers awaiting inside.

The group was gathered around the entrance of the ruin, their “leader” facing them alongside his Druddigon.

”Alright team are we ready to go tackle this dark and foreboding ruin that might be filled with traps, bloodthirsty Pokémon, and raiders?!” While he was all smiles, the dragon that stood next to him stared at him in complete bewilderment, its face twisted in a confused disgust as it tried to figure out if that was supposed to motivate people are not.

Sterling really didn’t know why he had been asked to join the survey team. He didn’t know why he had even agreed to it, either- the exploration of ruins was really not his thing, if shown by how he could look less than enthused by this whole thing.
[break][break]
At least Shin was cute, in that sort of way that Sterling had already decided wasn’t worth doing anything. Maybe it was his nonchalance about the whole thing, where Sterling himself felt like he was a bundle of nerves. Aster, his Sylveon, seemed to neither notice nor care- which Sterling was perfectly fine with, because it gave him something distracting.
[break][break]
”Not really?” He tries to make it sound like a joke, but he’s almost convinced that some of the other volunteers could hear his heartbeat if they really focused. He hesitates for a moment, and then murmurs and apology and goes to pat Aster’s head or calm his nerves. Whichever happens first.

Maybe he was too convincing? Shin didn’t expect that they would take anything that he said seriously but some of them honestly looked a bit spooked about going into the ruins.

”Come one guys I was just kidding.” He sighed, hanging his head in defeat.

”Anyway you’ve got nothing to worry about! You’ve got an expert tomb raider on your side so stay close and you’ll be fine!” But the damage had already been done and he could tell by the looks on their faces. Shin would shrug and then head towards the mouth of the ruins, pulling out his flashlight with a twirl before turning it on to illuminate the way.

”Don’t fall behind now.”

Once inside Shin scanned the immediate area with his light, checking for any irregularities such as unstable footing or Pokémon.

”Pay close attention to where you are and where you’re stepping.” There was no telling if the structural integrity of the catacombs was stable, or if they stepped on a tile and activated a trap.

There wasn’t much to see at first, nothing but stone and dirt, sure there were a few structures and then like fallen pillars but they offered nothing to gain any information from about this place. As Shin’s light scanned the cave’s walls he stopped when he noticed writing.

”This is the sort of stuff we’re looking for! Keep an eye out for anything of note and make sure to document it.” While he was busy examining the writing on the wall his Druddigon kept careful watch of their surrounding, making sure his trainer and the rest of the survey team were safe from harm.

A quick glance assured Sterling that he wasn’t the only one worried about this- maybe he had said whatever the rest hadn’t wanted to? He had known that he was already regretting things, but the idea that he wasn’t alone in that made him feel a little bit better.

[break][break]

Even if the group’s worries seemed to have discouraged Shin. He was doing what he could, and, in a way, Sterling could admire that. It didn’t help with any of his worries, of course, but he was sure that only getting out of the tombs unharmed would calm his nerves.

[break][break]

There was no backing out, either way; just as he wondered if he could, Shin had pulled out his flashlight and was turning it on to illuminate the mouth of the ruins.

[break][break]

The second Sterling was inside the catacombs, he forced down a bit of disappointment. Maybe, in a way, he had been expecting treasure and something exciting. But not this. It was all stone, and dirt, and nothing exciting at all. Unless the writing on the wall, revealed by Shin’s flashlight, was exciting. And it may have been to some people, but Sterling was not one of those people.

[break][break]

As much as he had been hoping for something more interesting, he was still cautious when he made his way closer to Shin, his Sylveon trotting neatly beside him. Once he got close enough, he gave the writing a quick glance, like he was actually paying attention and not because he wanted to be close by in case something happened.

[break][break]

”I was really hoping it’d be more like the movies.”
