See ya later, Feraligatr!
The trio surfaced, second fossil fully excavated and barely chipped from Lulu's protection. Zac slapped the side of the mammoth. "Great work girl! You got it out bloody perfectly! And what would I do without you Greg?" Zac asked, scratching the monkey's head just behind its topknot. "You scared off that troublesome Tirtouga in no time flat!" Greg flashed his teeth, lacking any enemies, chewed on his stick instead.
Zac compared the three pieces. This one's a tail, and the spine seems to fit pretty well with this bit, so it must be a torso. Just the head remaining! "Okay guys, keep your eyes peeled for that third piece. We want a head."
After a few minutes of looking, the problem became clear. The water was too murky. "We're not going to find anything from up here," Zac said, chewing his lip in thought. "Okay. Time for our wide area search." Greg screeched with excitement, slapping the water, Lulu and Zac in turn with his stick. Greg LOVED the wide area search.
The trio dove, heading for the sandy floor again. Lulu landed with slow, thudding footfalls, and Greg kicked off. He grabbed onto a ridge of stone at the edge of their old excavation site, his goggles fogging up with excitement. Before Zac could give the signal, the little monkey jammed his stick into the sand. The rock shuddered and shivered, as Greg's Grassy Surge forced foliage to spring from the sand. Seaweed unfurled like upside down banners. Coral cut upwards in little castles of reds, purples and greens, and seagrass swarmed the pool floor. Beds of the lush greenery waved slowly, and Greg snapped off a piece of red coral to chew on. Zac gave the monkey a thumbs up as it paddled back to Lulu's head, prize in its mouth.
Now it was Lulu's turn. With the ground so disturbed and tangled with foliage, her attacks would be significantly weaker. An earthquake, which would normally shatter anything nearby, would now only disrupt the ground enough to reveal nearby fossils. That was the plan anyway. They'd tested the combination when looking for tubers in the forest, but Zac hadn't thought about practicing underwater.
Lulu reared up and brought her front legs down in a slow-motion stamp. She hit the ground with dampened force, crushing coral and squashing seaweed under her massive feet. Zac felt the ocean shudder around them, and the floor buckled. The floor split into uneven chunks, plates rising or dipping to reveal the intriguing innards of the world beneath their feet. Mineral veins, buried shells, promising pale lumps, and even a Binacle were revealed. The Pokemon gasped at them with both hand-mouths before pulling itself away into the coral forest.
Zac patted Lulu and pointed towards one of the pale lumps. It was time to find that third piece.
