It's by his Lycanroc's trusty Odor Sleuth that Hideo knows he'll find his way out of this mist, his Pokemon guiding him along. His Lycanroc was able to catch a scent quickly and follow it - well aware it was a person's: 's, to be exact.

It isn't just so Hideo could be close to someone he's familiar with - Rocky could hear her distress, and he reasoned Hideo could help her. Though by the time they were reunited, had gotten to her first. "Come on," Hideo said, "Let's get out of here."

And as it turned out, all they had to do was walk out. Crazy how that works.

Though it was very difficult for Hideo to miss the sudden warmth he was feeling, like he was back outside in the sun. Or the sound of flapping wings from what sounded like a large Pokemon. "We are still underground, right?" he asked.

Judging by what asked, probably. But he didn't know for sure.

What he did know was someone ( ) offered food.

Hideo wasn't one to turn down free food. "I'll take some cookies!" he said, walking over towards where he heard the offer. He'd make sure to bring some over to Eris and Locke.

His Lycanroc stayed close to him, mainly as an escort; he didn't like the look of these Pokemon watching them, even if the only thing they were doing was watching.

They were... not dead! And there were dinosaurs. This was better than anything else that had happened. He was still wary, keeping closer to , but after it seemed safe enough he sighed and stepped away.

"Jeeze.... I don't understand anything that's happening. Is exploring caves always like this?"

He glanced around, gritting his teeth again at the dread of being crushed under so much rock...

Well, if Gavin had a fear of the ocean, it looked like Temp was showing the start of some Agoraphobia.

For now, though, he found a mossy enough rock to sit down on.

Eventually, the Unown seemed to form a portal out of the area. But what caught Thomas' attention was a familiar-looking object. Could it be a Mega Stone? In any case, Thomas quietly grabbed the item, and made his way out of the portal.

When they came out of the other side, Thomas had to question if they got sent back in time. He would spot the Cradily and Lileep, as well as the Aerodactyl taking to the skies. But as the Minior attempted to fly into the sky, he would notice that they would only come back down to them, looking disappointed.

Thomas decided to heed the call for a break, taking a seat from afar, and watching the area quietly. Mentally, he was taking notes of the environment, so he could use what he learned to improve the Biomes used at Duvet Ranch.

Not this shit again.

Skyler's had more than her fair share of alternative dimensions to last her a lifetime. That she kept being yoinked into them without her permission or any previous warning was just the cherry on top of the cake. Granted, not all those times had been entirely negative experiences, but as far as she was concerned the negatives had far outweighted any good that could've come out of them.

Especially since she hadn't even gotten any treasure out of this latest interdimensional soujourn. There'd been mist and confusion and Skyler had lost the others while Unown swarmed around.

Fortunately she'd managed to find the exit along with the rest of the group, seizing the chance to lean against a moss-coated wall and study the sprawl of green that extended before their eyes, lit by a colossal crystal set into the cavern's (?) ceiling. More than the forest or the fossils, the crystal drew the greed in her gaze.

"Hey." It seemed hadn't found any treasure while wandering through the Unown dimension either. Good. "Feel like flying close to the sun, Angel?" Her voice was pitched low in his ear as she sidled up to him, trouble perching teasingly at the tip of her tongue.

It wasn't so much a question as it was an invitation. 

After all, he was the one with the flying type that could blend in with the others. And Starmie could hold others off easily should it be necessary.

tldr;
- escapes the unown dimension, sadge no treasure
- dares angelo to fly towards the "sun"

Traversing through the dark mist of a dimension they really shouldn’t tread was starting to become familiar by this point.

Fortunately it’s not long until they’re spat out again, trading narrow caverns and eyeballs for a world of lush verdant. Sprawling. Open enough to trick his claustrophobic mind into easement. Angelo can breathe a little clearer.

Cerulean eyes scan their new environment, noting the ancient pokemon community thriving down here and the jungle that has laid claim to every nook. Hiding secrets and mysteries.

He very nearly ventures off on his own, itching to explore, when he spots it

Hey.

Angelo peers across at trouble as she slides up close, curve of his lips not so much an acceptance as it is a confirmation of similar thoughts shared.

Because isn’t that his whole thing, summarised in one simple dare?

knows he’d never refuse.

And risk pissing off the rest of the exploration group?” He leans against her shoulder, uttering low dealings of greed laced mischief.

It's scarcely one minute later and Luna is all but another smudge of grey amongst the flock of Aerodactyl, flying towards the sparkling centrepiece of the cavern. Angelo and Skyler along for the ride.

Already on edge on account of the spreading mist, Gavin startles as all but leaps in front of him. It incites a mixture of reactions — I can take care of myself, you know and be careful, idiot and an overwhelming surge of affection for this man who would throw himself into danger to protect Gavin despite knowing full well that the underboss and avatar can more than handle himself.

"I'm OK, love," he soothes. "No dreams, this time."

It doesn't stop his skin from crawling at the sight of the Unown flitting in and out of the dreamy fog. They seem more benevolent than those owned by the assassins, circling around the couple but not offering any kind of threat. If anything, they seem to be forming words.

N I G H T M A R E.
A L T E R N A T E.


He can't possibly puzzle out the meaning.

He takes Temp's hand both as anchor and reassurance as they step through the rift, and Gavin breathes easier in the absence of the creeping pink fog.

"I hate Hoenn," he grumbles under his breath. "No," he adds, "caving is rarely ever like this."

There had been that one time, during the Adventours? But he didn't have time to explain that right now, especially not when he spots the time capsule of light and life amidst the cavern. Fossil Pokemon thriving in their natural element, Cradily and Aerodactly and Armaldo and more. A genuine smile, rare in the presence of others, breaks across Gavin's troubled expression.

"Look at them all," he breathes, and quirks his lip at @cat when she meets his gaze. "They must've been down here for centuries. Longer, even."

Gavin sits on the edge of the cliff without fear, curling long fingers around a water stone and tucking it into his pack.

It's then that he notices how tense his partner is in comparison, reaching over to take his hand.

"I've done this hundreds of times," he soothes. "You're safe with me."

He'd seen enough Jurassic Park movies and even watched a bit of Journey to the Center of the Earth to know where this was going, and he didn't like it. He sticks with the group, taking every opportunity to glance over his shoulder at their surroundings. "Don't wander off, Sableye."

Except the daft thing went and did just that. Moron.

He thought it as affectionately as possible, noticing it was darting after small bits of rubble and stone due to an insatiable appetite. When it stared up at the sun, its eyes saw past the imitation, spotting it for the massive crystal it was. And oh, did it want it so badly, but alas it could not be.

The group was starting to move again, and still seemed out of sorts. Gently, Locke took the young girl’s hand and led her behind the others until, finally, they found themselves free of the mists and entering what could only be described as a world beneath the world.

Locke stood in stunned silence for a few moments, trying to take in the impossibly-lush landscape before him. His attention was pulled away again as spoke up, reminding him that the boy was without his usual Beheeyem companion.

”Um, I think so? There’s some kind of forest down here, and something on the ceiling’s making a lot of light, but it’s too bright for me to see. And there’s fossil Pokémon everywhere. Like, living ones.” It reminded him a lot of his brief time inside the Tree of Life in Sootopolis, and he immediately pulled out his phone to take pictures for once he had a solid signal again.

They put their phone away again a few minutes into the much-needed break, just as approached their little party with treats of his own. ”Thank you,” they said, putting as much appreciation behind the words as they could before digging in.

For him to still be here and well, that gnawing anxiety is gently chipped away by irregularities - No one is bleeding. Perhaps, a little distressed but not hurt.

Deep breaths are wracked with bouts of coughing, her heart racing even as they try to usher her out of the mist and into the next zone. She can barely focus on the changes in her surroundings, her fingers weakly tugging at Remi's sleeve and holding onto Locke's hand as they move onwards.

Everyone's still here, and they seem to have climbed out of a dark area into the light. Her nerves creep up and wither away with every breath she takes, a chill running under her skin whilst she forces her heart to slow. Where are they?

Fossils that have come to life thrive before her very eyes, but the only thought on her mind is to sit and slowly take in the warmth of the environment. Her palms feel shaky as she reaches to rub away the gathering tears. Exploration can come after her chest stops hurting and her fear subsides.

He couldn’t help but look over where Locke had run over to, before he called out after the courier, “Hey, if you need help just holler, I’m always here!”

Over at the handsome hot stranger (Paxton), he gave an embarrassed grin before a sheepish chuckle. “Honestly, I didn’t mean for it to happen, but sure, I’ll keep you in mind.”

The Salamence let out a little snort, before flexing his wings and returning back to where they belonged—up in the ‘air’ above the rest of the crowd.

Thankfully the sandwiches (and the packed lunches) survived the fall. After double and triple-checking himself to make sure he wasn’t bruising up or anything (because he’d be in for a bad time should that be the case) he then reached for one of the packed lunches and cracked it open.

Talk about experience.

Before they leave, one of the Unown fly dangerously close to where the two are, and quick on the uptake, Alexei whipped out his phone and opened the ominous app, scanning the question-mark shaped Unown before heading on his way and following everyone else who’d seemed to open up another—

Hoo boy.

Were they still in Hoenn at this rate? He couldn’t tell!

The sight of so many Aerodactyl, however, made him smile. Even the Salamence gave a snort.

“Yeah, Gabe, I know—reminds you of Terra, right?” he chuckled as one of the Aerodactyl flew overhead.

And then he thought to check his phone to see if there was any service, but of course—since they were here, wherever here was, there was no signal.

He remembered his friend ’s crazy stunt with the selfie… and then decided to try and take one while he was in the middle of eating one of the packed bento lunches!

Because, come on, no trip would be complete without a commemorative selfie or two, right?

Fp2ik1dl




• watches go where he has to go
• oh my, is being a tease—so of course he teases back
• up in the air we go again, yo
‘I don’t want to fall down again!’
• as the Salamence flies overhead, a ?-Unown comes whizzing so close by
• Alexei scans the ?-Unown for the Unown Report
• and then they’re not in Hoenn anymore, what the hell—
• he then decided to take a selfie. Okay, Alex, way to get your priorities straight!

An uncharacteristic silence falls over her like a shroud. Luka grants a grateful smile as she takes his arm, but if one peeks behind her saccharine mask, it almost looks like a wince. She takes her friend's arm, both hands wrapped around his bicep like an anchor keeping her tethered amidst a storm, the only thing preventing her from being swept out to sea.[break][break]

What saves her is her desperate need to save face and the intrinsic desire to put others before herself. @cat' concern is as touching as it is embarrassing. She's an adult, she needs to be able to control herself. Now is not the time to panic...[break][break]

"It's okay! I'm not upset," she says, still upset. "Please don't worry. You're doing the best you can! I-I don't think anyone could have accounted for this." She paints a smile on her face as easily as one might apply lipstick. It's perfect. If she didn't know better, she'd probably think it's real.[break][break]

"It's not your fault. I don't even think it's theirs either," she muses aloud, glancing around at the Unown that have swarmed around her. A shame that they've become associated with such bad memories. "E-either way! Please don't worry about me. You're doing a wonderful job."[break][break]

She bids the sweet Cat a smile and a wave before the girl attends to their fellow explorers. Luka continues to follow Paxton as they venture deeper, still clinging to his arm like a tether. The wonderous world that sprawls around them is fascinating, but she only pays it half a mind. In trying to push down everything she's feeling, her mind feels blank and heavy, buzzing like television static.[break][break]

Numbly, she sits on a moss covered rock and finally releases her poor neighbor's arm. Snacks are doled out and received with a nod and a quiet 'thank you', and she eats the cookies quietly, without tasting.[break][break]

Should the Minior approach again, she'll happily wave the cute little thing over to join their party.

[attr="class","omgenmid"]

MORE ROLLS THAN A BAKERY YO
SCHEDULED END: ... February?



SOARING IN THE SKIES



As much of of the Expedition had taken a well earnt rest after their previous terror, 's Smeargle manages to pocket an odd FOSSIL TOP before being recalled to the champion's side to rest instead of explore further. It was a thankful moment that at most, it was a brief scare rather than an extended stay in the INTERDREAM ZONE where something more dangerous may happen. Nonetheless, it had taken its toll on the expedition morale, and a rest was needed![break][break]

Overall, Cat had been a bit sheepish, considering the number of strange occurrences that had gotten to the expedition, noticeable in how she'd distracted herself with her own moment of reprieve, yet nonetheless, the young teen had been appreciative of those who'd offered her kind words.[break][break]



It's another gust of wind that has poor Cat's heart nearly stop, powerful ancient wings lifting off a grand mass of the ground as and fly off to check out the area—the young Galarian girl gripping onto a stone outcropping for dear life, a muffin she'd been snacking on the sole casualty as it fell off the cliffside as the two lifted off into the air. 's Sableye had been blown back right into its trainer, taking quite the tumble right into the raven-haired man's stomach, the darn thing seeming to have noticed the couple about to take flight, and perhaps gone to try and hitch a ride to get closer to its giant prize.[break][break]

"MISTER ANGELO!" the young girl had whined out her frustrations, a fist shaking in a heckling manner. Though she'd shown no effort towards forcing the couple to come back, instead, making sure she didn't lose anything—beyond poor muffin-chan, rest in peace, may you be good nourishment for a pokémon down below—before dusting herself off and patting down her hair. She'd only hoped the two were responsible to come back at an appropriate time.[break][break]

As the couple make their way to the heart of the Aerodactyl, there's a brief moment where the flock questions their new members, though seeming to decide that Angelo and Skyler didn't mean much harm, they'd continued their flight, stopping eventually as they flew down to the water's edge for a drink.[break][break]



Though it seems the younger members of the flock seemed interested in the two, flying circles around them—in a non-threatening manner—curious to see the two humans, and their own Aerodactyl, and what they were doing here, or perhaps why they were even on the back of one of their own?[break][break]

Nonetheless, some time passes by as Angelo and Skyler have a moment to interact with the Aerodactyl flock, before a handful more curious pokémon come to see the new faces, a young Cranidos and Tyrunt approaching from the brush.[break][break]

"Well... hopefully they'll be back in time for us to move on, but, let's continue our little rest!" Cat had addressed to the rest of the group chipperly, a silly smile on her face.


TREACHEROUS TRAP HOLE



As finds herself taking a rest in a small corner of the cliffside cavern, Cat seems to come her way, making her rounds to make sure everyone's alright.[break][break]
"How're you holding up, Miss Bluebottle and Miss Lenoir?" she'd asked to address the two with a smile, yet... before either could answer, it seemed the young explorer had taken a rather odd step.[break][break]



With a yelp, it's Cat and who fall first, a large pitfall opening underneath the two, yet barely missing , instead it's poor , alongside and who find themselves quickly tumbling down with the two girls. Thankfully the fall wasn't too large of one, a concerned mrow from Cat's Perrserker from above. It was honestly fairly easy to climb back out of the hole oddly filled with an assortment of spheres that Georgette's Wooloo seem to gather up posthaste. Yet the hole in the ground seemed to open up into a small expanse... like some sort of room.[break][break]

Though, the room itself—its walls, ceiling and floor still made of basic stone—seemed empty... bar an odd curved metal chunk, adorned with an odd golden set of wavy lines. Yet, before you can inspect it any further, it seems someone amongst you—far too many in the group to really tell who it was—had stepped on something else, another trap hole?[break][break]



As you tense up in preparation for what was assumed to be another pitfall, you find instead your vision flooded with bubbles! What more, it seems some of these bubbles have some fun little treasures hidden within them! The immediate things you spot floating within the bubbles—despite their weight—a LEAF STONE, FOSSIL TOP AND BOTTOM, ARMOR FOSSIL AND A PLUME FOSSIL![break][break]

From behind you, you hear wood clacking together and against stone as the instructor Perrserker throws down a rope ladder to help you get back out of the hole. To the rest of the expedition you seem to notice floating bubbles coming from the hole and whimsically floating by out to the opening towards the expanse.

Once he’d snapped a couple of selfies, he then lasered in on the packed lunches he had, snapping pictures of those too.

Never mind if the Salamence was now just—hovering in mid-air, admitting the flying Aerodactyl and Archeops far above where they were—it was so tempting to chase after then, but then again Alexei was eating (and snapping some selfies at the same time) so the draconid decided to wait.

As he bit into a rice ball, he cackled—okay, these were the salmon ones. Good enough.

More of the Aerodactyl and Archeops streaked across the skies above, and the Salamence just hovered around, going at a leisurely pace while keeping an eye on the crowd of people below them, down on the ground.

Yep, Alexei was staying up here and wasn’t going down to land anytime soon.

• just chillin’ and takin’ selfies here and there, basically!
• basically being a lazy-ass and admiring the view while taking more pictures of the Aerodactyl / Archeops flying overhead

As Thomas is seated, his boot taps something. The Kalosian scoots closer to it, noticing it shift as he moves his boot against it. Upon picking it up, and inspecting it, he realizes that he had stumbled upon a Dome Fossil. Thomas quietly places the Dome Fossil in his bag, along with the Fossil Top, and the Intriguing Stone he found earlier.

Thomas continued to take his break. Meanwhile, Ripper, getting bored, began to look around the area for anything he could hit, even if it was just an inanimate object with something shiny in it.

Hideo took a small handful of ’s cookies, almost immediately stuffing one in his mouth after uttering a quick “thank you!”. The cinnamon hit him first, which he immediately identified. The lavender took a moment to catch on to, as the crunchy taste of burnt cookie got in the way. Overall, pretty good; definitely homemade.

He made sure ’s Pokemon had enough to bring back before heading back himself - just in time to hear a small commotion as a number of people seemed to do more than just take a break - to the expedition leader’s chagrin. Hideo could only giggle, his Lycanroc just keeping watch for any stray Pokemon that tried getting close.

It was hard to miss the people fall into a hole, though. Hideo immediately turned towards it, confused; it sounded like it was right where he’d been a moment ago with Paxton. “Ah jeez,” Hideo muttered, ushering his Lycanroc towards the noise as he followed.

His Lycanroc would be sure to stay ahead of him - in case there were any more pitfalls waiting for them.

You guys alright?” Hideo asked, stopped a few centimeters from the hole by his Pokemon. It didn’t sound like anyone was that badly hurt - but it also sounded like there was something else going on.

Something…popping around him? He lifted a hand, and felt something fairly familiar to him: a bubble.

Are…are those coming from the hole?” he asked.

Mmmm, delicious cinnamon, lavender, and burnt flavoring
Went back to Eris and before people fell into the hole
Hideo goes to investigate the fallen ppl
Is this a bubble?
