as he wanders about, he hears a bark from behind him. he quickly turns around to see his lycanroc trotting towards him, tail wagging with his tongue out.

"what's up?"

the pokemon barks again and turns around, as if pointing to a direction. kyle takes the hint quickly and moves towards it, prompting the rock-type to lead the way for his trainer. eventually, they reach a pile of rubble on some corner.

"it's here?" he asks. the lycanroc responds with another bark. kyle assumes that it's an affirmative.

there's a sigh from the trainer following it, as if less than hopeful about the situation. nevertheless, he takes caution on digging up whatever treasure his pokemon has found, in case it is actually of value.

he continues to scale the manufactured walls following Mare as it scuttles even higher up the bluff. A shifting stone shakes the man's balance and in that his pick falls to the watery depths below. He pauses momentarily finding his balance, figuring out the next best way. A breath later and he has his solution. He pulls himself up to the next patch the kabuto's been circling. From the tools he has the man pulls a hammer before giving instruction to the fossil pokemon at his side. "Use your claws to pry around carefully, give yourself a wide berth and I'll remove it from the wall." The kabuto begins and Miles prepares himself by tying his cord to a firmer rock giving him not only more space to work but more importantly more space to maneuver his remaining tools.

As he finishes preparing Kabuto scurries away revealing a piece of rock ready to be fully excavated its multitude of tiny claws had done the job perfectly. And so with the backside of the hammer Miles wedges it into the stone slowly before in multiple small yanks the rock is brought from the stone revealing...

A piece he already had. How unlucky.

he excavates a pile of dirt dislodged from a cliff somewhere above them and eventually manages to get a part of the fossil that's intact. as soon as kyle takes it out, it gets placed in the same container as the other one.

kyle is actually surprised he manages to get something out of the pile. he looks at his pokemon in disbelief before placing a hand on top of his head and giving him a proper head pat.

"you actually did it? good job."

as the lycanroc revels in the attention and wags its tail wildly at the act of being petted, kyle turns to the arcanine's direction. he whistles, and the arcanine turns its head, it's cute face accented by the light the fire-type gives off with its morning sun.

"got anything in there?" he asks, which is then replied with a quick bark. eventually, he leaves the lycanroc for his arcanine.

as he approaches, he sees that the arcanine had dug a hole in the already deep hole. the fire-type tries to keep digging, but kyle has observed that its pawing on the ground has softened and has gotten more gentle. it's probably here, kyle thought.

"let's see what we got here."

with excavation tools, kyle tries to dig up another fossil.

The first fossil piece clutched tightly and carefully in his palms, Chu-e moved over to the pit. This one would be easier for him than the wall had been but still a challenge for him. At the end, he was able to fashion a sort of sling from his gear so he could be lowered down by Polka Dots. He didn't want to go down very far, since he would need to rely on his pokemon to bring him back up. At least Grapefruits could levitate and hang out next to him so he wouldn't be down here alone.

"Oh! Stop!" His little contraption jerked to a halt allowing him to try and pry what looked to be a prime fossil out of the wall... only for it to crumble in his hands. It hadn't been a fossil at all, just a very convincing clump of dirt. Sighing, he continued his search.

two down and one more to go, it seemed like they were on a roll now and kaz and his team were ready to find the last and final piece that they needed. however this one might be challenging like the last as they were tasked with finding a fossil down a deep and dark hole. his minior went on ahead using a DAZZLING GLEAM to light up the pit as it descended while his tyrantrum sat on the edge of the pit holding onto the rope with his jaws. there was no way he was going to really help out again with this search and kazimir felt a little bad for the large dinosaur. while it didn't seem to mind not really participating all that much kaz did promise it that he would treat it to a nice steak dinner afterwards regardless if they managed to get the badge or not. "don't worry tyramigo, i'll make sure to at least get it so your hard work earlier isn't wasted. well ryusei let's go, geronimoooooooo!"

with that kaz jumped in as he and his minior descened quickly into the pit with the light of the meteor's gleam providing all the light they needed. the pit was full of minerals but from what kaz could tell it was all metal ores. nothing spectacular like gems and crystals, which was cool in its own right did make him wonder how far deep they would have to go to find what they were looking for. that was until kazimir stepped on something to use for footing and its unevenness almost made him fall. "whoa what the?! hey ryusei! get over here!" as his minior came closer and kazimir propped himself against the wall he could see that the rock he stepped on was indeed an odd shape. it looked like a sort of shell was molded around it. could it be?

"pull it out ryusei, i'll give us some light." he said as he pulled out the flashlight and aimed it down as the glow from his meteor buddy dimmed and was replaced with a low glow of psychic energy that wrapped around the rock to try and wiggle it free from the wall. with any luck this was the final piece that they needed to get.

Why did it feel like he was being lured into a false sense of security…?

Looking around, he wondered what the others were thinking too. Considering the fact that there had been little interference, Lars knew better than to go rushing into things and going full tilt looking for all the pieces he needed.

Swimming through the waters, he finds another cove and begins to shove aside loose debris and rocks. The Runerigus follows alongside while still keeping an eye out for distractions.

And where was the Dracozolt in all this?

Not too far away, playing ‘coconut’ with a big rock that it was trying to smash open.

Maybe bringing Lohengrin was a mistake…! He thought to himself as he caught a glance at what the weird Pokémon was doing, cackling and trying to smash the rock it was fixated on open.

Eventually, his digging bore fruit—but what would he find?

they'll dig, but eventually, they are left with hard bedrock. kyle scratches his head before he calls for his lycanroc.

"camus! drill run over here!"

the rock-type trots over and executes the move. chips and shards of the hardened stone fly as the lycanroc makes its way through it while kyle pats his arcanine on its head.

"at least you didn't use bulldoze to dig faster. would've damaged everything else in the area if you did."

as soon as the praise is done, the lycanroc barks to indicate that it's done. it wags its tail while kyle moves over to pet him on the head, and then to look at what was underneath.

"let's see..."

  • just when you think you're safe on gathering two fossils a nuisance appears!

    as the dreepy versus dreepy fight happens, button is very confused by the mirror image. so confused that he rattles the wall a little more and a small chunk of fossil pops off, but it is still usable! unfortunately it might be a little harder to solve the 3rd round puzzle unless you keep track of the piece that popped off as well.




  • just when you think you're safe on gathering two fossils a nuisance appears!

    in the pit a light begins to glow and circle around you quickly, a humming sound as it blinks in and out of the darkness with almost a pulsating beat. if you look closely you might recognize it as a very familiar pokemon. but looking that closely also means looking for trouble as it suddenly glows even brighter and a power gem rocket towards you in the darkness. Roll to save your fossils but both your actions and your rolls will be considered for the next part! roll above an 85 and both of your fossils could come out unscathed! roll 45-84 and one of your fossils could be damaged! roll below those and both of your fossils could be damaged! if you roll a 1-5 one of your fossils could be destroyed, oh no




  • uhoh a creature from the deep!

    of course there's always dangers in the deep and this time it's no different. slushie isn't particularly fond of people invading it's waters. and suddenly they begin to shift to freezing temperatures. gaping maw open the arctovish swims towards you. uh-oh. you better stop it before a fossil shatters from the cold or impact. Roll to save your fossils but both your actions and your rolls will be considered for the next part! roll above an 85 and both of your fossils could come out unscathed! roll 45-84 and one of your fossils could be damaged! roll below those and both of your fossils could be damaged! if you roll a 1-5 one of your fossils could be destroyed, oh no




  • looks like all that rocking and rattling has disturbed the peace!

    skittles deemed himself the only one allowed to break up rocks with such vigor a long time ago. so seeing some stranger come in and break up his territory has made him a little... angry. of course when weren't craniados angry? that being said kyle now has a very angry little dinosaur running full speed at him using head smash. Roll to save your fossils but both your actions and your rolls will be considered for the next part! roll above an 85 and both of your fossils could come out unscathed! roll 45-84 and one of your fossils could be damaged! roll below those and both of your fossils could be damaged! if you roll a 1-5 one of your fossils could be destroyed, oh no

He knew it!

There was something that was bound to go wrong!

The—the ‘thing’ that was approaching him almost made him spit out the breathing device he had in his mouth because holy shit, what the fuck—was that a sentient toilet bowl approaching him?!

Holy shit what the fuck?! He thought, before remembering that said ‘toilet bowl’ was one of the few other Ice-types he had yet to find and secure—

And out of all the times, he had to hear the snarking, condescending laughter echoing in his head right now?!

Shut up! he thought frantically; shit he was holding three fossils—one of the two he wasn’t aware was a copy of one he’d already found, but shit he had to do something to protect his stash!

Looking over at Abigail, the Runerigus quickly swam in front of Lars as fast as she could manage, before summoning up an attempt to Protect herself from the incoming—angry, sentient toilet bowl.

All this, while Lars hung onto the three fossil pieces he’d already gotten as best as he could, swirling underwater current aside.

He lowers himself from the top of the room piece in hand following the fossil tracker down now not as much aggravated as he is stressed. The time constraint was getting tighter and still the researcher had acquired a single fossil piece. Still, this is what was being tested. The man's ability to work under pressure regardless of luck. It was an easy task from the outside in, but as the window grew smaller people were more prone to mistakes.

As he lowers himself the Kabuto honed in on another spot on the wall and as before the two would begin to carefully uncover it the pokemon's small nails drilling ever so carefully into the stone face creating something of a circle while Miles chipped away at the edges trying to uncover something of a shape, feeling the ridges of whatever piece may have been caught in the face of the massive stone that was the cliff bluff. They continue to drill for minutes making sure to keep themselves steady as to not puncture the piece or fall into the pool below.

Despite the anxiety, Miles was surprisingly having his fair share of fun.

suddenly another minior comes down into the pit along with them as they climb their way back. it wasn't one of kaz's other captures so...what was it doing here? being a nuisance by the sight of the power gem forming around its shell. "ryusei! cover me!" kaz cried out as he hugged the wall and try to climb it much faster than before, kicking off to try and "jump" further and further upward while his own minior floated in front of the ohter and summoned its ANCIENT POWER to combat this threat. no way was kaz going to get done in by a floating rock of all things!

  • just when you think you're safe on gathering two fossils a nuisance appears!

    the rocks collided, causing an explosion inside the pit! one of your fossils shakes, rattles and rolls its way into the wall, cracking it down the middle. uh-oh, now you have four pieces to keep track of.




  • uhoh a creature from the deep!

    the protect keeps your fossils ( and yourself ) safe from slushie's jaws as it's head bonks on the wall of protection. it hits it a few more times before swimming away, still confused.

"oh, no."

the smile upon finding the last piece he needed is replaced with a frown when the next thing he sees after the discovery is a rushing cranidos. direct assault was the easy way out, although minimizing damages should be the priority.

"wil! camus! defense!"

a battle cry from the arcanine attempts to intimidate the cranidos to dissuade it from attacking. the lycanroc jumps in front of them with a quick guard in an attempt to slow down the attacker in a moment's notice.

following the lycanroc's first move, the arcanine quickly steps in with extreme speed. comboing with the parry, the fire-type attempts to sway the direction of the cranidos' attack elsewhere with a nudge from its side.

Thankfully, the Runerigus was fast enough to throw out the defensive screen in time.

Just as the—sentient—creature came close to it, he felt the close proximity shudder around the wall of Protect as the Runerigus stared down the Arctovish before it left them alone—probably off to go bother someone else.

And again, where was the Dracozolt in all this?

Still playing ‘coconut’ with the rock he’d found, of course!

Good grief, Lohengrin, he thought as he gestured to the Runerigus to pick up the other Pokémon; they were going to search in another area.

Eventually the two Pokémon were following him again as he traversed through the area, before he found another spot that wasn’t… too disturbed, at least?

He then began moving slowly, shifting rock around as he did so.

Runerigus was back on guard duty, as always.

People begin to finish but Miles still struggles with a sole piece not out of skill but out of luck. Kabuto lands the trainer closer to the start now where Obelos has been waiting patiently. As they'd done their fair share of times before they begin to excavate the tiny Kabuto claws make it perfect to dig and nail into the wall while Miles pries the piece slowly with the backside of his hammer lacking any Chisel due to carelessness in an earlier excavation. Still Miles does not rush each pull and pry from the hammer is done carefully slowly lest the entire process end up pointless.

Obelos with its tiny dinosaur simply watches keeping an eye out for any who'd interrupt the excavating duo more than obviously a little bored.
